I believe this wonderful young woman would do an outstanding job of carrying a TORCH - she has no dissability - infact quite the opposite she is a strong healthy clever young woman, who is at the end of 10 years studying her PhD is almost complete, she did find and has a job with the PRINCESS TRUST in GLASGOW and has held this position as well as finishig her PhD - working with young people helping them build a business of their own What makes her special I brought her up on my own after her father a ROYAL MARINE who served with 40 Commando left the family, he served in the FAULKLANDS and unfortunately took his own life.Rather than go by the wayside as many children from homes like ours do she has strived to help others who are less fortunate than herself and she is a wonderful wonderful young lady, and to do this wonderful torch carrying especially just as her academic career comes to an end would be the total icing on the cake. I dont have clever words or a sob story to tell she is just a wonderful young woman who has taken life with both hands and made the best of it for herself and making me the proudest Mum in the world She has been published in The Daily Telegraph and the Metro further to a conference she attended and gave a talk on and around the week-end of the 24/25 April 2010 she is a very very special lady and she would do an admiral job for you - she does run as part of a running club and keeps herself very involved in her community which is DUNBLANEThe Prince's Trust not Princess Trust. my mum is my role model and an inspiration but I have also been supported by my step-dad Steve who I would like to include in the story.
