Everyone has a story but good grief Sue seems to have as many lives as a cat.

I met Sue at bootcamp on the tail end of one of the biggest challenges of her life. She was out of condition, out of her comfort zone and out of time. A time when most may accept an inevitable downhill into ageing, Sue dusted off, took stock and threw herself into designing a new life for herself and her children.

Having been such an inspiration to me as I witnessed her huge improvements week after week in training and how much joy she brought those around her, I had little idea of the depth of her history and how much she had been through in such a short time. I am in awe and consider her even more amazing now.

Im sure you will love her as much as i do.
