New Kid on the Block So here we with January’s edition of the Herts Disability Sport Newsletter which we aim to distribute monthly during 2016. But before going any further, I’d like to introduce myself. My name is Gobi Ranganathan and I have Spina bifida. I am a wheelchair user and have a keen interest in sport. I used to swim at a National Level and am currently part of the England Para-Badminton Squad. I have aspirations to get to the 2020 Paralympic Games in Tokyo. As part of my new role as Digital Marketing Officer for the Herts Sports Partnership team, I’ve been asked to put together this monthly Disability Newsletter. Throughout my sporting career I have encountered many obstacles, particularly with communication and awareness, so I am delighted to be able to help raise awareness about disability sport and celebrate all the great things that are going on around the county. Whether you are a reader, parent, athlete, coach or leader, I hope to hear from you. Send me your news, events, achievements and I will do my best to include them in the next issue.
