Talking about childhood ambition. I never knew what I wanted. I followed my heart. I have been on a real roller-coaster ride, going to University with a secondhand motorbike and nothing else. Running out of petrol and finding a place to stay on the first day.

Finishing my degree I was selected to do an annual expedition to the Antarctic for a year.

My life has been fun doing impulsive,adventurous things.

However, when 16 or 18 I remember looking out of a bus window, while the days events passed through my mind. I reflected that I could not and would not be able to live if I was paralysed below my neck.

Well this nightmare became reality. I am paralysed and I am "doing "the life. I live on my own now and I am determined to make a success of the rest of my life.
