“I’m only human and I’m not ‘special’ by any means, I’ve just done some extraordinary things. I’ve had to work hard to get to where I wanted to go, having pushed myself into areas where I have been very uncomfortable. But, you never know unless you give it a go, so it’s worth taking those steps towards reaching your own goals…”
