Hilary Lister - and AMAZING woman!

This is from Hilary's website:

Hilary was not born quadriplegic, in fact Hilary was quite the sporting child.
However, Hilary was diagnosed with a degenerative disease, which would slowly limit the use of her body as she became older.
Hilary now 36, is quadriplegic and lives near Canterbury with her husband and chocolate Labrador Lottie. Hilary has battled with her worsening medical condition for over half her life.
Tempted in her darkest moments to end her pain and suffering, an introduction to sailing in 2003 provided a fresh impetus and transformed life for Hilary. In 2005, Hilary Lister made history by becoming the first ever quadriplegic to sail solo across the English Channel.
