A vibrant and sociable young woman, Niamh represents the energy and the type of lifestyle that you would expect from a typical 19 year old.  She shares her time between socialising with friends, working and travelling to compete in the sport that she is so passionate about - Power Wheelchair Football. Creative, energetic and stylish, with a keen interest in the latest technology, Niamh is in the process of setting up her own business, and currently works as National Fundraising Manager for the Power Wheelchair Football Association.  With a competitive nature and hunger for achievement, Niamh actively pursues her passion for power chair football. It’s not surprising that she takes the performance of her power wheelchair on and off court very seriously, so we were delighted when she agreed to become Invacare’s latest ambassador for the TDX2 power chair range. “I have a very busy schedule, love fashion, new technology and actively participate in sport, I am always looking to push boundaries, so my chair, quite simply has to keep up with me.”

The perfect balance of amazing looks and functionality with its light weight and fully adjustable structure, there are simply no limits with these chairs."    Take a look at Nathan’s official website which details his inspiring life story, a list of his achievements and regularly updated news.   ">
