A BRAVE disabled teenager has completed the 'world's first fully accessible' fun run just months after she was caught up in the Manchester Arena attack.

Kira Glossop, from Highfield Road, Farnworth, was 'trapped' at the venue after the bomb went off during the Ariana Grande concert on May 22 until she was helped out by others trying to escape.

Despite the traumatic experience, the 16-year-old was determined to brave the 5km Parallel London course at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in London on Sunday.

Her aim was to raise money and awareness for Whizz-Kidz, a charity close to her heart.

Kira, who suffers with cerebral palsy, said: "The experience in March was awful and it took a lot to go and do a big event like this.

"I was very nervous but it is all for charity at the end of the day. And I owe it to them to do things like this. They changed my life really.

"They got my a wheelchair, they helped me with my employment and they help other disabled people like myself."

Kira was with her mother Tracy on the night of the attack and she spent 20 minutes trapped inside the venue.

She was saved when another couple came over to help Mrs Glossop get her daughter out.

She said: "It was an extremely traumatic experience.

“I think everybody that was there at the time thought they were not getting out of there. It was one of the scariest things I have ever been through.

"I was trapped where I was because there were people climbing over each other to get out. I could not really get out until I was helped out."

Kira has been involved with Whizz-Kidz ever since they got her a wheelchair back in 2014.

She said: "I just thought ‘why not’. It is all for a good cause raising money for charity. It has done a lot for me throughout my life so it is nice to give something back.

"I had an amazing time."

Former captain of the Great British Junior Wheelchair Basketball team and Channel 4 sports reporter, Jordan Jarrett-Bryan is a patron of Whizz-Kidz.

He said: "The atmosphere at Parallel London this weekend was brilliant and it was so good to see everyone having fun and taking part side-by-side together was just brilliant. This event is a fantastic example of inclusivity and a great opportunity to break down barriers so that we can all feel included within sport and activity."
