PARA cyclist Jamie Harding has been selected to represent Gloucestershire at the top schools' competition in the country – The National Games in Manchester.

Only 10 youngsters from Gloucestershire have been picked to compete.

Jamie's story is inspirational - in 2010, he suffered a brain aneurysm which caused a stroke.

He was rushed to hospital for emergency brain surgery, which three out of five people will die from. Fortunately, Jamie was one of the lucky ones, although he had to learn how to walk, cycle and swim all over again.
