Ameera Lee

Started: She began the sport in 2016. "When I started I was a standing archer. I have multiple sclerosis, but as time went on I was having more falls, and the coach said maybe I should use a stool or wheelchair, just for safety reasons." (You Little Reaper Podcast, 28 Aug 2023; nswis.com.au, 09 Oct 2020) Reason: "This started with my son. He was in primary school, I was looking for sports for him. So, he was doing swimming, and whilst he was swimming, I saw a sign for archery. And as you do with your kids, you try different sports to see what might work for them because everyone has different interests. So, I came along for a trial and they said the parents can try it as well. I tried it, I got the bug, my son retired after a few months."
