You need to watch the clip for her own remarkable and humbling story.
What an extraordinary young lady.

What a lovely remarkable young lady, and what a role model she is to all our youngsters.

What brought tears to my eyes was when she was explaining how she lost her legs, when she said "I was 'lucky' to have only lost my legs".

Credit also to her ex Royal Marine father, who has obviously given his wonderful daughter much support throughout her young life, so much so that she herself has turned out to be a hero in her own right.

If anyone deserves an OBE (or such) it is this brave and beautiful young girl.

Well done Lydia, and I hope I also speak on behalf of all on AnswerBank when I say "continue with your good work and go on to enjoy a safe, healthy, and happy life".

Thank you for bringing this wonderful piece of 'GOOD' news to our attention Philtaz.

She is very inspirational. Nice to hear about the fantastic deeds of children for once, as opposed to horror tales of them attacking each other etc.
