Despite Cerebral Palsy (CP) affecting in the main his mobility, co-ordination and balance, 12-year-old Ian Duncan has always been determined to not be held back and give everything a go.
In 2019 Ian, whilst having a medical procedure, was introduced to Frame Running, a form of adaptive running which supports athletes’ bodies by a ‘trike’, allowing them to experience the sensation of free movement. In addition to helping support his Frame Running club grow, Ian took part in a study at Queen Margaret University looking into the health and wellbeing benefits of frame running.
Ian recently took the decision to leave the club to help create and set up a club in Edinburgh so more boys and girls could have access to the frames. Ian now consistently advocates for the club and the sport at a variety of different events, recently working with coaches at Corstorphine Athletics Club in Edinburgh.
