Cindy Rickard, from Victoria, Australia.

Cindy and her husband Paul renovated their first house together, doing almost all of the work (Paul is an electrician).  They bought 2 investment properties and one of them was damaged by tenants, so they renovated that as well and sold it.  They sold their original PPR and moved away from Melbourne for a quieter existence and during that time Cindy had a stroke.  Cindy credits her desire to 'get back on the tools' as a driving factor behind her continuing recovery.  She is a can do lady.
