Dan Bramall

Dan was born with cerebral palsy,
On the 29th of January in 1985,
And competes in the T33 for GB,
Born Cheshire, England to arrive.

A friend introduced him blazé,
To wheelchair racing, fast sport, 
And also to athletics tots crazy: 
He gave everything a good report. 

But he only began sprint racing, 
When the London Paras aired, 
But immediately took the placing, 
As the man to watch, he dared. 

In 2014 Dan raced in the IPC Prix,
To finish bronze, a PB of 18.69
In the 100 dash, and in dignity,
Came again 3rd in the 200m line. 

The next year at the Worlds 2015,
Dan came 2nd to win internationally,
Then in 2016 at the Euros sheen,
He finished in silver place perfectly.
