Meet one of our inspiring winners from 2023 - Georgia Carmichael from Maidenhead, the winner of the Bravery award.
Georgia started kayaking at the age of 10 - at just 13 she was selected for the GB team. But her journey hasn’t been simple – at the age of 16 she suffered a life-changing brain injury – and in 2021 she ended up back in hospital with life-threatening injuries.
She hasn’t let this stop her – and she’s currently aiming for the Paralympics.
