Having developed transverse myelitis at the age of 13, a condition in which the spinal cord is inflamed, Lauren suddenly found she had no feeling below her chest. However, not one to just give up, Lauren decided to take up Paralympic sport after being inspired by the 2012 London Paralympic Games.

Lauren has gone on to win a silver at the 2017 World Cup regatta in Poznan, however due to injury Lauren was unable to feature at the World Championships in Sarasota-Bradenton.

A truly inspirational figure, Lauren made the switch from athletes to rowing in 2015, only a year before qualifying and featuring at the Rio Paralympic Games. A magnificent story of true determination and perseverance, Lauren will inspire and motivate anyone that listens to her talks.
