Kate On Wheels

Welcome to Kate On Wheels – a blog about everything from wheelchairs and disability to the wonderful world of Formula 1. If it’s got wheels, I’m on it!

A bit about me…

I’m studying journalism with the Academy for Disabled Journalists, hoping to become a Formula 1 reporter.

I live in the South West of England with my amazing Assistance Dog, Erin. I’m a woman of complete opposites – aside from F1 I love spending time doing craft projects, including cross-stitch, knitting and diamond painting. Autumn is my favourite season because it’s so colourful, cold enough to be cosy but not so cold that it’s painful! I love long evenings spent with my stitching, a hot chocolate, and Erin cuddled up next to me.

I also enjoy spending time in nature, travelling, exploring and hiking up the occasional mountain in Norway (decent suspension on your wheelchair is an absolute must on this one!!)

Oh yeah, and I happen to be a full-time wheelchair user. My disability doesn’t define me but it is naturally a big part of my life, affecting everything I do to some extent or another. First and foremost I’m me – I just live my life sat on my bum!

Welcome to my blog, I hope you enjoy the ride.
