Eariler this week The Sun had a feature on Jane Sowerby, a member of the British Disabled Ski Team development team. Jane was paralysed when she fell down a staircase in 2003. Now, just four years later, she's training for 2010 Paralympics with the British team. On her specially adapted ski chair (one ski at the bottom and two attached to her arms) Jane has reached speeds up to 40mph - impressive for an able bodied skier - I'm not sure I've got past 4mph on skis!
