THE BORDERS MOUNTAIN BIKER BLAZING THE TRAIL FOR DIVERSITY IN THE SPORT

Be the Change You Want to See

Aneela was recently interviewed by ITV Borders (link to full interview, here).

"Aneela McKenna moved from Glasgow to the Scottish Borders 17 years ago. She has worked in diversity and inclusion for more than two decades, but it's only in the last few years that she decided to combine her passions.

"The problem with sport is that there's a lack of diversity - it's as simple as that", she said.

"What I really wanted to do in mountain biking was to bring more women into the sport. I remember when I started out in the 90s, there were very few women in the sport."
