Crackerjacks could not be more honored and proud to announce their new patron, Claire Cashmore MBE.
Seasoned Paralympian, Rio 2016 was Claire’s fourth Paralympics and most successful to date. She entered the world stage at only 16 years old, qualifying for Athens and coming home with 2 bronze medals, a bronze at the games in Beijing in 2008, and a further 2 silvers and a bronze in London 2012. London 2012 saw a big boost in Claire’s profile as she was chosen to be one of the faces of Channel 4’s hugely successful Meet the Superhuman campaign – she was featured on billboards nationwide and in a number of adverts on Channel 4 speaking candidly about her disability. Claire’s performance in the pool at Rio 2016 was impressive. With experience under her belt, she won silver in the SB8 100m breaststroke and her first gold in the 4 x 100m medley relay. Claire is a great ambassador for disability sport and Crackerjacks Children’s Trust. She regularly gives motivational talks to children and adults and inspires others in the work she does. From all the team at Crackerjack, a BIG welcome Claire it’s great to have you onboard.
