Did you know…
- She was born on the 8 January 1993.

I think Sophe Pascoe is the most inspiring New Zealander because…
On 23 September 1995 sophie was accidentally run over by her father on the family ride-on lawnmower. Resulting in both her
legs being caught under the cutter as a result of the accident her left leg was amputated below the knee. One day when she was the age of 7 she wanted to try swimming. At first all the other kids were better than so Her mum hunted out a good coach to help her with swimming. She has represented New Zealand at three Summer Paralympic Games from 2008 winning a total of nine gold medals and six silver medals making her New Zealand's most successful Paralympian.In room 1 we have been righting about who we think the most inspiring New Zealander.
