Natasha Coates suffers with a rare condition called Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. It means her body struggles to fight disease and makes her allergic to many everyday things, including exercise.

But it hasn't stopped the twenty one year old pursuing her sporting dreams.

Although not a Paralympic discipline, Natasha won a medal on every piece of apparatus at the British championships in March 2017.

Despite spending more time in the hospital than training, Natasha explains how gymnastics "has saved her life".
