It doesn’t seem that long ago I received an email confirming my success for my Churchill Fellowship application. It still all feels a bit surreal.

I held off reaching out to people and organisations for my research until I had heard I was successful so the last two months or so has been a whirlwind of reaching out to people and getting connected to more people that have been recommended.

The people who I have connected with so far come from a range of sectors which I’m hopeful will give me a deeper understanding into the systems and structures in place for disabled innovators.

With a meeting confirmed in each city on my proposed itinerary, I was ready to book my flights. A confirmed itinerary and booked flights make everything seem a little more real, even if the day itself is still far away.

Drum roll please…

Here it is!
