Gold Medal for injured cyclist

Residents may remember the day a young lady was knocked off her bike by a trailer swinging behind a car which did not stop on the Whitchurch road near the bridge out of the village.

She was left paralysed from the waist downwards but such is her determination that she has won a

She used to attend Yoga in the village and I visited her in the hospital at Oswestry.
