Special Olympics athlete Charlotte Foster, who we supported on her journey to the event in Berlin, won the silver medal for Great Britain in the 25m backstroke race at the end of June!
She took part in the competition after Hamilton Director, Daniel Mackie, along with lots of other staff, customers and suppliers, donated money to fund the trip for Charlotte as well as Special Olympics GB Head Coach, Emma Inglis and Blackpool Polar Bears founder Lynda Inglis.
Charlotte, who is 28, was chosen from more than 30 nominated swimmers to be named in the Team Special Olympics GB squad of six for Berlin 2023 earlier this year and she competed against other athletes from around the world in what was the biggest inclusive sporting event of the year.
Congratulations to Charlotte, Emma and everyone at Blackpool Polar Bears for such an incredible achievement!
