to achieve the best they can.

Each of us needs to decide what

will become our medal event -

for some this may be getting a

Bronze for taking up a long lost

passion or discovering a new skill,

receiving a Silver when they

achieve or create something they

didnt think possible three

months ago, and grabbing Gold

for taking that step further and

pushing the boundaries to the

limit and becoming a

Superhuman in their own right.

Each of us has the ability to be

more tomorrow than we were

yesterday, and ENRYCH Berkshire

will be by your side to help you

reach that podium.

Wow. What a summer! Sport

has been at the fore of

everyones minds this summer

whether you usually engage or

not, you couldnt have missed

the wonderful results from

Wiggins in the Tour de France,

the Olympic medal upon medal

from the likes of Hoy, Ennis and

Farah. And hot off the press,

Murray following his Olympic

gold with a win in the US Open.

But the big story for us at

ENRYCH Berkshire is the work of

the SuperhumanstheParalympians.

And in Berkshire we have our

own local Paralympic champion

in Sophie Christiansen, three gold

medals in Equestrian for the girl

from Maidenhead. She started

riding a horse as therapy for her

cerebral palsy. And now 20 years

later she has achieved so much

just through a simple activity

which made her happy.

So if the games have spurred you

on to try a new sport, we know

that not everyone will be flying

off to Rio to take part in the next

Games, but everyone can strive

Best of British (and Berkshire)

Making the Games

Seven years ago I watched London win the bid

to host the Games and I knew then, despite not

being a huge fan of most sports, that I had to be

part of it, even if it meant cleaning toilets.

Fast forward to 2012 and Id been interviewed

and selected and they gave me the role of

driver, of both the (in)famous BMWs and ofwheelchair accessible vehicles. Over my time at

the Games Ive had the privilege to drive

Athletes, Officials, Coaches and foreign

dignitaries and spent time in one

of the most amazing venues on

the planet with a great group of

fellow volunteers.

It was an amazing and humbling

experience and one that I know I

wont be able to repeat in thislifetime!
