A 10-year-old has been crowned Sportsperson of the Year following a ‘mini-Paralympics’ for children.

Earlier in the year Jamie Keat from Hammersmith took part in the Panathon Challenge, which provides sporting opportunities for over 7,500 disabled young people each year and saw 450 schools competing.

The youngster, who has spinal muscular atrophy and is a powerchair user, collected the Sporting Achievement award from Paralympic champion Liz Johnson, having been selected from thousands of young people to take part in the Panathlon Challenge this year.

Panathlon events feature a range of sports which use specialist adaptive equipment, allowing children with a range of impairments to take part, including severe physical disabilities and learning difficulties.

Jamie competes in the wheelchair slalom and relays, but has started excelling in boccia.

In more success for the borough, Daniyal Shah from Parayhouse School in Fulham was highly commended in the Outstanding Achievement Awards.

The awards are sponsored by the Jack Petchey Foundation.
