Natasha Rudd

My name is Natasha Rudd, I was born in 1994 and I live in Orange. Mum tells me I have always been very busy and have never let CF slow me down.  Although I have had a couple of hospital stays it hasn't stopped me from playing lots of sport and I think it helps my lungs stay strong.

I have had a busy year, in January I played in the Orange Rep Touch Side at the State Cup in Wollongong. After that I was selected in the schools Western Area Basketball Team and played state in Sydney.  I also qualified for seven events at our district athletics carnival and made three finals.  Later in the year I was selected for the Western Touch Team and also played state in Sydney.

About July, I made the team to go to western for Cross Country and in September I was selected with NSW Basketball to go to a development camp at Port Macquarie. From there I have also been selected to the next level at Albury and lastly, for the moment anyway, I have made the training squad of 16 for the State Age Netball team after 65 girls tried out.

My mum has helped me write this so we can let other kids know anything is possible. Just give it a go and don’t let people say you can’t do something.
