I was absolutely delighted when I was informed that my name had been put forward to the Queen to receive the MBE for services to Cycling for the Disabled back in November 2005. However, I wouldn't have achieved any of my results without my tandem pilot Ellen Hunter who is a fantastic athlete in her own right. In July 2006 I went to receive my MBE from the Queen at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh.
I was more nervous meeting the Queen this time than I had been on previous occasions. It was a fantastic day which my mum Maureen and my sisters Maureen and Sharon thoroughly enjoyed.
