I've seen her competing in one or two local events and always thought it was amusing that she should run for Taunton AC! (Looking at powerof10, I see that she and I both ran in the Taunton Half Marathon a few years ago!)

She's a lovely lass and has done really well to overcome or at least come to terms with her difficulties. Hers is a learning disability, which I had always perceived to be a form of autism, but I don't rightly know.
