I was very disappointed in having to miss the 2009 World Championships at the end of August, but, I am now back into ttraining and have just completed two intensive training camps with my coach, Matt Southam, at Xtreme Gene Water Ski and Wake Board Centre, Cordoba, Spain. Recovery from the recent surgery is going well and it's great to be back on the water and back into the routine of training.

The big news is.....the launch of my autobiography, Blind Ambition.

I flew into Dublin from Cordoba on Friday evening to appear on RTE's Late Late Show. Presenter, Ryan Toberty was fabulous and I enjoyed chatting with him.

My book launch will take place on Thurs 29th October at the First Step Womens Centre, 21 William Street, Dungannon at 11a.m..

I recently visited the centre to speak and present awards and when the centre Manager, Michael McGoldrick, asked me if I would like to launch my autobiography with them, I was absolutely delighted. I couldn't think of a better venue, as my book is both motivational and inspirational and I hope it will give hope and encouragement to others.

Blind Ambition is available from Fri 30th Oct, in all good book shops and direct from:-

The book will take you on an amazing journey, full of highs and lows, laughter and tears, so I hope you enjoy it and please feel free to contact me through the web site with any comments.
