1 day to Paralympic Day! We continue to spotlight the athletes who show us what it means to Reach Beyond.

Meet Sophie Soon and her guide dog Orinda!

Diagnosed with cone-rod dystrophy as a child, a condition that causes deteriorating vision and may eventually lead to blindness, Sophie has never let it define her limits. A Grade 8 violinist who once performed with The Sam Willows at the President's Star Charity Show, she eventually put music on hold to focus fully on competitive swimming.

Sophie has gone on to represent Singapore at the 2015 ASEAN Para Games, made her Paralympic debut at Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games (finishing 4th in the Women's 100m Breaststroke SB12), and won her first World Championships title at Madeira 2022 with a silver and a new personal best.

Cheer her on as she prepares for the next Games! Let's Reach Beyond together
