The 34-year-old from Rubery, who clinched a gold medal in Barcelona 2018 in Club Throw, said: “I want to continue to highlight the facilities available in the Midlands and also help to improve those where they are not so good, which could inspire other people to get involved, enjoy and succeed in a sport. Being a baton bearer will help me to do this and I look forward to being a part of the amazing atmosphere.”
