Every day women and children are killed and maimed by landmines long after wars are over.

I was competing in an IPC World Cup race, but the finish area was short and I came across the line with my head down and went straight through the fence. It was only because the Italian team doctor leapt out to grab me that I didn't smash through the café window.

Cousins are more then cousins, there best friends that are their through it all.

It's very important with an artificial leg that all high heels are exactly the same height.

The hardest thing for me is walking. Can you imagine you've got a metal pole and if you put pressure on it like a strong walk, you can walk.

People love me or hate me and all I think about is the people that I know and suffer with different causes and carry on my charity work and that's what keeps me alive really.

I am a charity campaigner.
