You might remember a couple of years ago a young lady who can only move her head sailed to France,in her own boat,by sucking and blowing down a tube,well in June she is sailing around britain and she is starting from Dover seafront.
Hilary is a remarkable woman and should be an inspiration to us all,I think the date she is planning to set off is June 9th,I am sure our friends in the press can confirm,she is also an Honorary Lion.
If you knew what I know,we would both be in trouble!

Did anyone see the coverage in the Dover Ex***ss towards the back,this young lady is due to leave Dover on Monday to sail round Britain on her boat just by blowing and sucking on tubes as she is paralised,it makes you aches and pains go away when you realise what she is atempting to do,

Hi John,
Do you know what time she will be about and where she is leaving from? Would be nice if some of us locals were there to wish her well after the fiasco of last Saturday. I will certainly try to be there to see her off - such a brave lady. Like you say - makes you forget all your own problems when you hear about someone like Hilary - I do so hope she achieves her dreams.
There's always a little truth behind every "Just kidding", a little emotion behind every "I don't care" and a little pain behind every "I'm ok".

I understand that because of technical difficulties the launch has now been put back to the 16th June,no timings available yet.
