A year on from her cancer diagnosis, Paralympic champion Erin Kennedy is competing again
The first day of competition in the championships, which run from 25-28 May in Slovenia, will be exactly one year to the day since the 2020 Paralympic champion was diagnosed with breast cancer. Kennedy describes the past year as “really humbling” and a “slog,” but says it feels “amazing” to once again be selected to represent Team GB in an international competition. “It’s been emotional, to be honest,” she told CNN Sport’s Amanda Davies.
” Kennedy, Paralympic champion in the PR3 Mix4+ at Tokyo 2020, said she approached her diagnosis “just like an athlete” and was thankful many of the skills she learned from rowing were able to be transferred to her cancer recovery. After speaking with her surgeon ahead of the operation, Kennedy said she did extensive “pre-hab” – which included activation stretching and mentally preparing herself for how her body would change – to aid her recovery as best she could.
