Our athletes Jude Hamer

After having her right leg amputated following more than 20 unsuccessful operations to even out the lengths, Jude was introduced to wheelchair basketball at her local ParalympicsGB Potential Day.

Just two years after joining the Exeter Otters in 2007, the Exeter native made her international debut with the GB Women in 2009. In 2012, Jude proudly made her Paralympic Games debut in front of the home crowd.

Jude and the GB Women’s team would create history in 2018, achieving their first ever World Championships podium finish winning the silver medal.
