Helene Raynsford

Water and Boat Sports

Helene Raynsford, born in 1979, is a British rower who competed at the 2008 Summer Paralympics. She trained at Elmhurst Ballet School before an injury ended her chances of becoming a professional dancer. At university she studied biochemistry, but a head injury at the age of 21 left her needing the use of a wheelchair. She completed a degree at Royal Holloway and is now undertaking a master's degree in neuroscience. Her English Wikipedia lead gives no count of Paralympic golds, so that figure is left open until a source that states it is found.
