She was born without arms or legs after her mother was prescribed thalidomide in pregnancy. Quotes Having four fingers and 13 toes never stopped me doing what I love’ One of the things I really enjoy is talking to young people. I give talks in schools, and to Brownie groups as well as book talks. I have two fingers coming from each shoulder and my legs are foreshortened above where the average person’s knees would be with little feet.” It’s vital to be a role model. To me it’s important to answer questions; it’s an opportunity to be honest and that’s good for all disabled people.” External links Category:Living people Category:Women artists Category:entrepreneurs Category:Businesswomen from the United Kingdom
