"Remember how far you've come. Remember what you've overcome before. Remember what you're capable of."

A Multiple Paralympic Medallist with over 100 International Career Titles, Lucy Shuker is one of Britain's most successful Wheelchair Tennis players. Achieving career best rankings of World No.#5 in Singles and World No.#3 in Doubles, Lucy is a former Masters Doubles Champion, Australian Open and Wimbledon Grand Slam Doubles Finalist. 

​

In 2001, aged 21, Lucy had a motorbike accident which left her paralysed from the chest down. She started playing wheelchair tennis and has since gone on to represent Great Britain at four successive Paralympic Games; Beijing 2008, London 2012, Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2020. 

​

Lucy made history at the London 2012 Paralympics alongside fellow Brit Jordanne Whiley, becoming the first women to win a medal for Great Britain in wheelchair tennis; the pair came from match point down to secure Bronze in the women's doubles event. Lucy and Jordanne made history again in Tokyo, winning a Silver Medal, the best achievement from any women's British pair and seeing them become the first pair to feature on the podium at three successive Paralympic Games.

​

Named as one of Britain's most influential people with a disability, Lucy recognises the impact that she can have on future generations and is currently enjoying positions as LTA National School Sports Champion for Tennis as well as Chairman of the International Wheelchair Tennis Player Council. 

Lucy is an impressive and accomplished motivational speaker, she has an inspiring story to tell and is able to engage and motivate audiences as an ambassador and role model for Paralympic Sport.

Acknowledged as one of Britain's most influential people with a disability, Lucy brings an easy approach and natural charm while delivering a compelling account of how she came to terms with an event that would change her life forever. From the moment of realisation that she was never going to walk again to qualifying for her first Paralympic Games in Beijing, 2008. 

​

Passionate about helping build the profile of disability sport around the world, Lucy is eager to help shape the culture and attitude towards accessibility and disability. Through sharing her own story and experiences, Lucy hopes to inspire people to strive for success no matter what life throws at them.
