Senator Nikki Bradley
Nikki Bradley is a disability advocate and motivational speaker living in Co. Donegal.
Diagnosed with Ewing’s Sarcoma at aged 16 and surviving the rare and often deadly form of bone cancer, offered Nikki a unique opportunity to restart her life at a young age. She is the founder of ‘Fighting Fit For Ewing’s’, which aims to increase awareness about the disease while encouraging people to view exercise as a form of rehabilitation.
Nikki has worked with some of Ireland’s leading disability organisations such as Active Disability Ireland, The Disabled Drivers Association, of which she is a board member and The No Barriers Foundation.
Living with a disability for over 15 years has given Nikki invaluable insight and knowledge that she will use during her time as a senator to push for a better quality of life for others in Ireland.
As a Donegal native, Nikki is very familiar with the devastation caused by defective blocks in the county and will lobby for the people of Donegal and the wider community on this issue.
Encouraging young people to use their vote is another area Nikki will focus on during her time in the Seanad. She was invited to the European Parliament in Strasbourg in December 2023 and to Brussels in February 2024 where she was given the opportunity to meet with various MEPs on this matter.
