A Sussex Downs College student supports BBC Get Inspired’s BodyPositive initiative

Nicole Allen from Seaford, who is currently studying a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Sport and Exercise Science at Sussex Downs College, has seized ‘a great opportunity’ to be involved in BBC Get Inspired’s, BodyPositive initiative.

As a young woman living with Cystic Fibrosis, Nicole astonishes and inspires many through her energetic, active and overwhelmingly positive attitude to life which is detailed in her own blog ‘Living and Breathing CF’.

After responding to a tweet from the BBC campaign, Nicole has had an introduction video published on the BodyPositive web page and will be keeping a video diary of her daily life over the next six months which will also be uploaded. The campaign aims to create a community of people to inspire and empower each other to feel happy, healthy and confident by embracing what makes them unique.

Mike Hopkins, Principal and CEO of Sussex Downs College said, “This is a huge achievement for Nicole and a testament of her hard work and dedication to sharing her positive outlook on life. She is an inspiration already to us at Sussex Downs College and we are proud that through this campaign she can now be an inspiration to others across the UK and, possibly, across the world.”
