2024-BIG Group member Ed Fish- International Frame Running champion!
Ed Fish – 4 Medals!!!
Forget the Olympics!!
Our very own Ed Fish has won no less than 4 gold medals at the 2024 Frame Running World Abilitysport International Cup at Bagsvaerd, Denmark in July 2024. – Scoring 1st place in the 200, 400, 800 and 1500 meters despite only having competed for 3 years.
Ed discovered FrameRunning 4 years ago while recovering from an operation in 2019, where he became interested in the role exercise plays in recovery. He climbed aboard and knew instantly that he had found the sport for him. It has changed his life.
Not bad for a lad who spent 6 months in Woodend hospital followed by a year in a wheelchair. Not much holds him back. Well done Ed, we are all very proud of you – keep up the hard work!!
