Surgery and new book

At the end of April, I went into hospital again for more surgery, which is still ongoing from the accident in 2004. Unfortunately, the operation took a lot longer than expected, lasting almost 9hrs.

Recovery from such a lengthy procedure takes time and as I will not be up to full fitness by the end of August, it was decided, that I would not go to compete at the 2009 World Disabled Championships, which are being held in Viche, France from 31st Aug-7th Sept.

I am following a structured recovery programme with Sports Institute N.I. and hope to start slowly back on the water, soon.

The exciting news is.......The big book launch!!!.

My autobiography, Blind Ambition is now finished and the date for the book launch is29th Oct.

You can pre order your copy now from publishers, Gill and MacMillan.
