About Libby and ESPC
ESPC started sponsoring Libby in 2012 and a recent deal will see the sponsorship continue until 2016, seeing her compete not only in the Lyon championships but also the Glasgow Commonwealth Games in 2014, World Championships in Doha in 2015 and before the Olympic Games in Rio in 2016.
Libby was first introduced to ESPC during a 2-week work placement with the company before the Beijing Paralympics, whilst she attended The Royal Blind School in Edinburgh. Since the age of nine, Libby has suffered from a deteriorating eye condition known as Stargardt's Macular Dystrophy disease. Libby has only slight peripheral vision in her left eye, and is registered blind. She has two younger brothers that have the same condition.
