Living in the Northern Territory's Top End, Romone Lewin and Briseis Brittain have faced significant hurdles on their paths to becoming para athletes — and they’re setting their sights higher.
When looking back on his journey, Romone Lewin says he's been inspired by the lyrics of high-profile rapper Drake. Recently, fans and the world's media have been searching for winners in the aftermath of a feud between the Canadian artist and fellow rapper Kendrick Lamar. But for Lewin, it has been much more personal.
In a backpack, she carries 36 sporting medals — six of them from recent national meets. Brittain competes in the 100, 200, 400m and long jump. "I want to be like Cathy Freeman ," she said. "It’s my dream to go to the Olympics for Australia." Brittain is aiming for the 2028 Paralympics in Los Angeles.
