Isabelle Weall contracted meningitis at the age of seven causing her to become a quadruple amputee. The loss of her limbs has not deterred Isabelle from following her dreams. Isabelle is now fourteen years old. She has won many awards, has a Youtube channel, and is training to become a racecar driver.
“If I can show people what I can do, it shows them that you can still do things. I can still do things and get on with my life normally.”
Isabelle has started her own Youtube channel where she demonstrates how she does independent living skills, such as putting on makeup.
Isabelle is an athlete as well. In 2016, she won a national trampolining competition and earned a Pride of Sport award for her accomplishment. Isabelle has caught the attention of Team Brit, a racing team that works with people with disabilities. She is the first quadruple amputee the team will teach to drive and eventually race. Team Brit will be developing technology for Isabelle and other quadruple amputees to race. Isabelle will be practicing her driving skills at home using a driving simulator.
Isabelle has proved that with enough perseverance your goals are attainable.
