	Description:		Briton Danielle Brown is a double Paralympic gold-medalist and five-time world champion in archery. She was also the first disabled athlete to represent England in an able-bodied category at the Commonwealth Games in 2020 - where she also won gold. Her career was cut short while she was training for the Rio in 2016 when the World Archery Federation said it would no longer recognise her disability. But Danielle pivoted to writing books - she penned One Hundred Reasons to Hope - which was inspired by Captain Sir Tom Moore and his 100 laps of his garden raising money for the NHS. Her new book is Run Like a Girl, which has won the Sunday Times Children's Book of the Year 2022... which features 50 female athletes breaking barriers and achieving great things - including New Zealand's own Dame Valerie Adams.
