Paralympic Hero Visit

On the 10th of September we we honoured with a visit from Airdrie born Angela McDowell, a multi medal winner at the 1988 South Korean Paralympic Games. She talked to us about how she developed her swimming skills despite her sight problems and how she went on to win over 200 medals in National, European and International championships as well as her 8 Olympic medals. She let some of the children wear her medals too. She was an inspiration to all of us. Thank you Angela for sharing your story with us.
