You get very few chances in life to meet people that just amaze you, Amanda is one of them for me Read this book, it will put a lot into perspective; it did for me and I drew on her inspiration during my dark times of the challenge. -Ben Smith, who ran 401 marathons in 401 days for The 401 Challenge

On the 9th August 2015, Amanda Newton's life was changed forever. Whilst training for a triathlon, the fervent athlete crashed her bike into a sign post, breaking her back, collar bone and ribs, leaving her paralysed from the waist down and unable to ever walk again.

She broke the news to her friends and family through a Facebook post, posting an image of herself wearing a neck brace and smiling just a few hours after the accident. She continued to keep her followers updated through social media posts, documenting the challenges of having to adapt to a new life almost overnight, and the affect that a disability can have on a person.
