Becoming a children's author - para-triathlete Claire Cashmore

Becoming a children's author - para-triathlete Claire Cashmore

Here's a Paralympian who's written a book in lockdown. Claire Cashmore has written a children's book. It's called Splash and you can pre-order here.

https://www.whsmith.co.uk/products/splash/claire-cashmore/sharon-davey/paperback/9780755502851.html?utm_campaign=eq_whs&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_source=awin&awc=3017_1616013355_7d59b84afa44ea609e3d9ee885c79f28

Claire was motivated by a lack of representation of people with a disability in children's books and the media. Urged on by her sister, she wrote a book which tells the story of her young fear of water and swimming - a fear that was conquered and saw Claire on to win a sackful of international medals, including Paralympic gold.

Claire switched sports to para-triathlon after Rio and she's hoping to be in Tokyo this summer.
