A WHEELCHAIR racer from Taunton, Jamie Edwards, is one of the faces representing Sport Relief this year.
The former Castle School and Richard Huish College student moved to Surrey 18 months ago to focus on his racing full-time.
He has been training with the Weir Archer Academy, and hopes to qualify for the Paralympics in Tokyo later this year.
Six-time Paralympic champion @DavidWeir2012 is going for gold in Tokyo. But he still has his eyes on prizes for others. His @WeirArcher Academy trains and inspires a younger generation - and has just got bigger and better, as @RagsMartel reports. pic.twitter.com/x0metkqabL

Edwards is represented by a diverse modelling agency, Zebedee Management, and does a few castings in between his wheelchair racing training.
As a result, he takes his place in the 'Get your kit on' promotion for this year's Sport Relief (March 13), the biennial charity fundraising event.
