A woman with cerebral palsy has said the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award taught her she can “do what anyone else can do”.
Myah Richards, 21, has spastic diplegia, meaning she requires help from carers and uses a wheelchair or walking frame to get around.
She was introduced to the DofE award while at Lonsdale School in Stevenage, which teaches students with physical and neurological impairments, and she found that taking part changed the way she saw herself.
“It’s taught me that, yes, I’m disabled, but I can do what anybody else can do,” she told the PA news agency.
