At Kukri Sports, our mission goes beyond high-quality apparel \u2014 we are committed to elevating athletes and giving them the platform to excel.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether at grassroots level or competing for international honours, we are proud to support athletes and be a long-standing partner of the para-sport community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we launch our new campaign to celebrate these remarkable achievements, we want to shine a light on the journeys and voices that inspire us both on and off the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our commitment is rooted in long-term partnerships with organizations like Team England<\/strong>, British Fencing,<\/strong> British Wheelchair Basketball<\/strong>, and England Athletics<\/strong>, as well as leading educational institutions such as Loughborough University.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, we provide technical excellence in apparel while amplifying athletes\u2019 voices, breaking down barriers, and inspiring the next generation<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stories That Inspire<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amy Thompson \u2013 Building confidence and visibility<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our ambassador, Amy Thompson, is a rising star in shot put, recently captaining England at the Home Countries U20 International and earning her first call-up to this year\u2019s World Para Championships on 26 September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith the help from Kukri, they have really propelled my career, helping me with not only my kit but my social media presence.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWithout their support, I don\u2019t think I would have as many opportunities as I do currently and that comes down to their support away from sport and really building my confidence.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hannah Cockroft CBE \u2013 Redefining limits<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nine-time Paralympic champion and ambassador Hannah Cockroft CBE has built her career on pushing boundaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Hannah, wheelchair racing is not just a sport, but a gateway to independence and achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m really proud to be a para-athlete. Wheelchair racing is my freedom. The opportunities that being a wheelchair racer gave me ultimately changed my life.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hannah also uses her platform to shift perceptions on para-sport, challenging the idea that wheelchair racing is easy or secondary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen you have a disability, you are told more often what you can\u2019t do rather than what you can do.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI like to use my sport to show people what is possible, and hopefully inspire people to challenge themselves and find out what they can achieve.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

British Fencing \u2013 Inclusivity in action<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through partners like British Fencing, Kukri supports athletes who prove that inclusivity is the foundation of sporting progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For para fencer and coach Aimee Aronica, fencing restored her connection to the sport she had loved for two decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen I acquired my disability, I felt like I lost my sport. Having wheelchair fencing open to me gave me a way to engage with the sport I have spent 20 years competing in.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf we as a community can make disability less scary and open up para-sport as a place for everybody, I am hoping our sport can grow and be a place where everybody can achieve their dreams.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

For teammates James Peebles and Wiktoria Mucha, para-fencing is both a test of resilience and a transformative journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBeing a para-athlete is about proving that a disability doesn\u2019t define what I can or can\u2019t do,\u201d <\/em>said James.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about picking myself up when things don\u2019t go to plan, dusting myself off and trying again, as many times as it takes.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWheelchair fencing has changed my life in more ways that I can ever begin to describe,\u201d <\/em>said Wiktoria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInclusivity in sport is incredibly important to me as it allows me to feel included and a part of something.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWith the support of those around me, I can do anything and forget about the things I struggle with.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking Ahead<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Kukri, we are committed to supporting para-athletes across a range of sports, ensuring their journeys are seen, heard and celebrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the weeks ahead, we will share content offering a closer look at our athletes\u2019 journeys, highlighting the resilience, determination and talent that makes para-sport so special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because for us, it\u2019s about more than sport \u2014 it\u2019s about breaking barriers, amplifying voices, and inspiring the next generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
