Diagnosed with haemophilia at a young age, the second-year student turned a potential limitation into a launchpad \u2013 carving out a unique space for himself in the competitive world of paralympic rowing.<\/p>\n<p>Ed shares with CONNECTED how the <a href=\"https:\/\/sport.reading.ac.uk\/sporting-excellence-scholarship\/\">Sporting Excellence Scholarship <\/a>\u2013 made possible by generous donors, many of whom are University of Reading alumni \u2013 has made a huge difference. He credits this support with helping him <a href=\"https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/connected\/2024\/09\/03\/rowing-to-gold\/\">row to gold<\/a> at the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games whilst balancing elite rowing with his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reading.ac.uk\/ready-to-study\/study\/Subject-area\/geography-ug\">geography<\/a> studies. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Watch the video below to hear Ed\u2019s story.<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What&#039;s it like to be a Paralympic rower while studying at Reading?\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jNdj1rNumgY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h4><strong>All the right boxes<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Ed\u2019s journey into rowing began during a simple PE lesson. Ed explained: \u201cI got into rowing mainly because of haemophilia \u2013 this is a condition which affects my blood\u2019s ability to clot. So when I cut myself, I will bleed for much longer than your average person. It also causes joint pain and limited mobility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe condition meant I couldn\u2019t do the high impact sports, such as rugby and football, that are often taught at schools.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was by chance that at 11 years old Ed found himself on an indoor rowing machine. By the time he joined Exeter Rowing Club in Year 7 his love for rowing had snowballed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRowing isn\u2019t weight-bearing but is still incredibly aerobic. It works so many muscles,\u201d he explained. \u201cI stayed with Exeter Rowing Club from the age of 11-18 and did all of the junior competitions there, including the Junior British National Titles and trying out for GB Juniors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13989 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/connected\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/12\/Connected-Body-3-300x187.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/connected\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/12\/Connected-Body-3-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/connected\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/12\/Connected-Body-3-768x479.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/connected\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/12\/Connected-Body-3-370x231.png 370w, https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/connected\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/12\/Connected-Body-3-270x168.png 270w, https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/connected\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/12\/Connected-Body-3-570x355.png 570w, https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/connected\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/12\/Connected-Body-3-740x461.png 740w, https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/connected\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/12\/Connected-Body-3.png 770w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>It was the satisfaction of seeing his hard work pay off at the 2017 Junior British Championships that had Ed hooked. He laughed: \u201cWe worked really hard and really wanted to win. Although, now when I look back the training probably wasn\u2019t actually that hard, but it felt it to 14-year-old me.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter winning the Championships, I knew rowing was something I wanted to pursue seriously. I had started to see that, as with most sports, you really do get out what you put in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After finishing secondary school, Ed took a gap year to focus on rowing and successfully became part of the Paralympic rowing team \u2013 competing in his debut year in 2022. However, impressed by its strong programme and proximity to the national rowing training centre in Caversham, Ed also decided to pursue geography at the University of Reading .<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReading was the perfect place for me and it ticked all the right boxes,\u201d he explained. Ed undertook his first year as a part-time student \u2013 enabling him to focus on the Paris 2024 Paralympics where he won gold in the PR3 \u00a0Mixed Coxed Four event, alongside teammates Frankie Allen, Josh O\u2019Brien, Giedre Rakauskaite and Erin Kennedy.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Grabbing gold <\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13993 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/connected\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/12\/Connected-Body-6-300x187.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/connected\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/12\/Connected-Body-6-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/connected\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/12\/Connected-Body-6-768x479.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/connected\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/12\/Connected-Body-6-370x231.png 370w, https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/connected\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/12\/Connected-Body-6-270x168.png 270w, https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/connected\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/12\/Connected-Body-6-570x355.png 570w, https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/connected\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/12\/Connected-Body-6-740x461.png 740w, https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/connected\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/12\/Connected-Body-6.png 770w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>Competing at the Paralympics was a career-defining moment for Ed, with 12,000 people watching his final race.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cWe had the American team right on us until the very last second and the crowd\u2019s noise drowning out our cox. I\u2019ve never experienced that sort of noise at a rowing event before, it was incredible.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cIt was especially nice as there were members of the University of Reading Rowing Club in the crowd, so looking up and seeing them cheering us on was really special.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>However, the trip wasn\u2019t without its challenges, including managing his daily medication and adapting to the physical demands of the event. Ed explained: \u201cThe village is pretty big, so there was a lot of walking or standing for a long time \u2013 which for myself and other Paralympic athletes is a challenge.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was also a moment of concern when some of my medication, which is part liquid, had solidified in the refrigerator overnight and I had to try and defrost it pretty quickly. I can laugh about it now, but it was incredibly stressful at the time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite some challenges along the way, Ed embraced the entire experience.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cOnce it was all over we visited all the tourist spots in Paris and had some great opportunities. We visited the British Embassy and the TV show, <em>The Last Leg<\/em>, did a Channel 4 round-up of the Paralympics which covered our win. Myself and the crew were on the stage swinging the presenter, Adam Hills, by his arms and legs in one of their challenges \u2013 it was very surreal but cool to be on a live TV show.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d always wanted to go to the Stade de France, a large stadium in Paris, so I also went there to watch the athletics and the wheelchair tennis, in a packed-out stadium.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Sport, scholarships, and the future<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Ed has been fortunate to receive the Sporting Excellence Scholarship twice now, to alleviate the financial strain of training, race fees, and specialised equipment. And for Ed, the importance of this spans far beyond medals and titles.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13990 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/connected\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/12\/Connected-Body-5-300x187.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/connected\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/12\/Connected-Body-5-300x187.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/connected\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/12\/Connected-Body-5-768x479.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/connected\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/12\/Connected-Body-5-370x231.png 370w, https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/connected\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/12\/Connected-Body-5-270x168.png 270w, https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/connected\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/12\/Connected-Body-5-570x355.png 570w, https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/connected\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/12\/Connected-Body-5-740x461.png 740w, https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/connected\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2024\/12\/Connected-Body-5.png 770w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>He explained: \u201cThe scholarship helps open the door for so many people. The equipment required for sports, for example, is very specialist and expensive \u2013 so it can be a real limiting factor for people wanting to excel in their chosen sport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo be able to make all sports as accessible for as many people as possible is so important. It\u2019s not just about winning medals, it\u2019s about enabling people to discover their potential and passion.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>To be able to help people chase their dreams is an amazing thing. Thank you to everyone who has helped me to chase my dream.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>He said: \u201cI don\u2019t know what I would do without rowing. The friends you form and that sense of camaraderie, alongside the structure and consistent movement, is so beneficial to your physical and mental health.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With a packed calendar there\u2019s no chance of Ed slowing down anytime soon. He said: \u201cThis year the focus is on the Henley Royal Regatta and the World Championships in Shanghai \u2013 so it\u2019ll be a packed year for training.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Regatta will be exciting \u2013 \u00a0we have a strong group and it\u2019s an event where all the people who once rowed at Reading Rowing Club come to show their support.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>It\u2019s great to hear the alumni cheering from the bank.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ed\u2019s advice to aspiring athletes is simple \u2013 to just start: \u201cThe hardest part is starting. Once you find a sport you love, the benefits \u2013 mental, physical and social \u2013 are unparalleled. Don\u2019t underestimate what you can achieve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ed credits the University\u2019s supportive environment, including a flexible coaching team and the camaraderie of his peers, for helping him thrive. He said: \u201cBeing part of a group of top-end athletes at the University has been fantastic. It\u2019s great to share my experiences and learn from others too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope I\u2019ll still be rowing well into my 80s.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.reading.ac.uk\/connected\/2024\/09\/03\/rowing-to-gold\/\">Read more about Ed\u2019s win at the Paralympics.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From balancing boats to books &#8211; Paralympic gold medallist and Reading student, Ed Fuller, shares how he juggles elite rowing with studying, with the support of Reading&#8217;s alumni community.
