A story about rising — through doubt, sport, and self-belief.
Built to Rise is the story of growing up with cerebral palsy, finding identity through sport, and learning that confidence is built through action.
It's for anyone who has ever doubted themselves and needed a reminder of what is possible.
So the next generation doesn't have to figure it out alone.
I never had a role model who looked like me growing up. I wrote this book so the next generation doesn't have to figure it out alone.
