When doctors told Christine McCoombes and her husband that one of their unborn twins had a health condition that would impact her life severely, they feared the worst. But little did they know, their daughter Hallee would prove everyone wrong and become a triathlon champion with six national records.

Hallee was born with Spina Bifida, a condition that made it unlikely for her to walk, talk, or live a normal life. Despite the grim prognosis, Hallee’s determination and fighting spirit shone through. She refused to let her condition hold her back and was passionate about being active.

Though Hallee’s condition affects every aspect of her life, she never gives up. She faces challenges with strength and courage, always reaching for the stars. Her mom is amazed by her perseverance and ability to do the things people said she couldn’t.

One of the most inspiring moments was when Hallee ran fast for the first time in 2020. It brought tears of joy to everyone who witnessed her defying the odds and moving freely. With the help of special sports boots and the support of her family, Hallee continues to excel in her sports.

At just ten years old, Hallee has already achieved what many deemed impossible. She is an Australian triathlete champion and holds six national records in athletics. But she’s not stopping there. Hallee dreams of showcasing her talents at the 2028 Paralympics in Los Angeles.

Hallee’s determination has inspired many, including Tim Harradine of Triathlon Australia, who admires her fighting spirit. Despite hearing discouraging comments like “you’ll never run” or “you can’t play sport,” Hallee doesn’t pay them any attention. She proves them wrong by pursuing her dreams and never giving up.

We can’t wait to see Hallee shine at the Paralympics in 2028. Her story is a reminder that with determination and a fighting spirit, anything is possible.
