Honor Morton prepares for European Deaf Youth Games with sister's support

Honor Morton, an 18-year-old deaf runner from Askam-in-Furness, is heading to the inaugural European Deaf Youth Games in Germany this August. Morton credits her twin sister, Gretta, for significant support throughout her athletics career, including assistance with training and fundraising efforts due to a lack of funding for athletes. The Department for Culture, Media and Sport is discussing ways to raise the profile of deaf sport, although no additional funding for high-performance athletes is currently available. Morton hopes for greater inclusion of deaf athletes in the Paralympics, expressing pride and excitement for the upcoming competition against peers.
