S2 E3 - Ed Fuller: Para-rower & European Champion on balancing haemophilia and elite sport

from Exercise Right UK · host Adam and Jo

Fuller has restricted movement in his ankles due to his haemophilia. Haemophilia is a genetic disorder that affects the blood's ability to clot. People with haemophilia are at risk of bleeding easily, especially into their joints. This can lead to pain, swelling, and stiffness. In some cases, it can also lead to permanent damage to the joints. Despite his haemophilia, Fuller is a successful Para-rower. He has won world and European championships in the mixed coxed four. He is one of the few elite British athletes with haemophilia who competes in Para-sport. Fuller's story is an inspiration to others with haemophilia. It shows that people with the condition can live active and fulfilling lives. It also shows that people with haemophilia can achieve great things in sport. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/disability-sport/65807443
