After being spotted at the Chill Factore in Manchester, she was invited to train with the British Parasnowsports Team with her Dad as her guide. They began racing in the IPCAS races in Landgraaf, which they placed 4th in their first race. This was the start of her journey to the Paralympics.
At the 2018 Pyeongchang Paralympic Games, Menna and guide, Jen Kehoe became Britain’s Most-Decorated Winter Paralympians winning one gold, two silver and one bronze medal.
