Hi, I’m Louise — and I’ve just qualified to compete at the World’s Strongest Disabled Woman competition this November in Texas!

For people who don’t know, at just 2 years old, I survived meningitis. Since then, my life has been about learning how to navigate the world differently—adapting, rebuilding, and pushing myself through every challenge. From learning to walk in prosthetics to gaining the strength to live independently, I’ve always fought to move forward.

I didn’t start in the gym with big goals or experience—I started as the person who didn’t have a clue what to do. I just knew I wanted to get stronger, and little by little, I did. After 3 years of training, I now have the incredible opportunity to step onto one of the biggest platforms in adaptive strength sports.

This isn’t just about lifting heavy. It’s about showing others who’ve faced the same struggles that life doesn’t end after disability or illness. With hard work, belief, and community, you can do things you never thought possible.

My ultimate goal is to make sport accessible to all, and being part of this event is a massive step forward—not just for me, but for the community I represent.

To get there, I need help covering travel, accommodation, and competition costs. If you’re able to donate, you’re not just supporting me—you’re backing a message that strength comes in many forms. And if you can’t donate, sharing this would mean the world.

Thank you so much for supporting this dream. Let’s show the world what disabled strength really looks like
