Hi everyone,
Hope you all had a fabulous Christmas.
The run up to Christmas was hectic with media interviews and the book signing tour. I visited Ballymena Library, Bangor's Carnegie Library, Belfast's Grove Library and Lisburn Library. I really enjoyed meeting everyone and my sincerest thanks to the staff involved and all those who came along.
Paul and I enjoyed a lovely quiet, relaxing Christmas at home with the family, but, now it's time to get back into my training routine and preparations for the 2010 ski season!.
Latest news!!!.........
I was delighted to revisit the First Steps Women Centre, in Dungannon for a book signing in December and I was absolutely thrilled, when they asked me to be the Centre's first Patron. I am deeply honoured to receive such a prestigious title and I look forward in 2010, to being involved with the Centre and the fabulous work which they do.
I was also delighted to be asked, to take part in a book called, A Winning Mind. The book's author, Joe Sillet, approached around 20 sports personalities in the U.K. to each do a chapter, with the proceeds from the book going to the charity, Special Olympics. A Winning Mind will be launched on 1st Feb.
Well, they say things come in threes!!!. My involvement with yet another book is on the horizon.
A book called, Two For The Road, is the brainchild of Edel Reck and consists of various challenges around the world, each challenge involves 2 sports personalities, 1 able bodied and 1 disabled.
I think I've got the most exciting challenge, as I will be going off to the arctic to drive a team of huskies!!!. Mush, mush!!!.
Watch this space, for more info on the book and to learn who my mystery partner is for the trip!!!.
Wishing you all a very happy, healthy and successful New Year.
