Summary


1 LAUGHING. AT SOME OF THE LOWEST POINTS IN MYLIFE, IT HAS been laughter that has seen me through. The day the doctor told me I would never see again was utterly devastating. My mum and I headed to the ladies bathroom to gain some composure. As we entered the toilets a rather large lady was coming out and we managed to get stuck with her, the three of us nose to nose, as we shuffled round each other. When we finally managed to free ourselves, mymumand I screamed with laughter. It was probably hysteria, but it certainly took the edge off a really horrible moment.

2 Be a role model. When I lost my sight, I had never met anyone who was blind and I felt like there was no-one to whom to aspire. This is why my radio show is so important to me. Every week, I challenge myself to do something out of the ordinary such as flying a helicopter or driving a racing car. I want to show both blind and sighted people that when you lose one of your faculties it is not "game over". You only get one chance at life, so follow your dreams and inspire others to do the same. 3 Baths. There is nothing I enjoy more than a relaxing bubble bath at night, to ease away the tensions and stresses of the day. To be honest, I tend to do most of my thinking in the bath and come up with my best ideas there. If I really want to treat myself, I'll crank up my iPod docking station, pop on some tunes, pour myself a huge gin and tonic, and let it all hang out!
