Imagine What We Can Do: Al Viney

#ImagineWhatWeCanDo #AusParalympics #París2024 Alexandra Viney is focused on fulfilling a dream – even if that dream looks a little different than anticipated. On the night of her year 12 graduation at the age of 18, the Tasmania-born rower survived a high-speed car accident caused by a drunk driver. The accident left her with lasting impairments to her left elbow, forearm and hand. “Having a piece of me taken away was devastating,” Viney said. “Not feeling like you belong for so long, it really fractures you.” Viney spent the next eight years turning her passion for sport into a career. She worried her time as an athlete was over, but after a chance conversation in late 2018, it became apparent that her goal to represent Australia might still be possible. “Eight years (of) desperately trying to cling on to sport and just a passing conversation with someone who asks ‘Well, why am I not a Para-athlete?’” she said. “It was in that moment that it kind of occurred (to me) that there is a place for me in sport and I can be that athlete that I’ve always wanted to be.” To find out more about Al Viney and Paralympics Australia, visit our website: https://www.paralympic.org.au/ Like and follow Paralympics Australia and the Australian Paralympic Team: Facebook:   / ausparalympics   Instagram:   / ausparalympics   LinkedIn:   / ausparalympics
