Biography
Patrick was born in 1987 with albinism. She was blind at birth and gained some sight afterwards, but has never had full vision. Moreover, she suffers from nystagmus, which causes eye movement, and her albinism makes her, and particularly her eyes, sensitive to light. Patrick worked as a physiotherapist at Victoria Hospital in Dunfermline until she moved to Loughborough.[2]
Paratriathlon became an Olympic sport at the 2016 Rio Paralympics. Patrick took the silver medal in the PT5 class behind Katie Kelly of Australia.[1]
