A case well worthy of our support. My best wishes for her in what must be a strenous event for someone in her circumstances.

Good to hear that Strike. It makes one feel very humble hearing about people overcoming adversity and turning it into success. She has my utmost respect.

Thanks for the positive comments. They are really appreciated, and yes, she is a truly amazing woman. She got polio at 2, and yet went on to earn a degree in Kenya, become a teacher, and was the first woman from East Africa to compete in wheelchair racing in the 2004 Paralympics in Athens. We also have a 6 year old son. She is an inspiration so if you can spare a few bob, please sponsor her because it really is a great charity.
