Steve says: “Blind Veterans UK taught me that my sight loss shouldn’t hold me back from living my life and trying new challenges. That’s something that has really spurred me on with my Taekwondo.”

With his first Team GB medal in hand, Steve is working towards a black belt in his club’s next grading in December. He says: “There’s a lot to do as the black belt is more complex than the other belts but I’m ready for it; this is what I’ve been working towards.”
