Anna Turney, Paralympian, didn't let becoming paralysed from waist in a snowboarding accident put her off snow. She got straight back up the mountain, learned new skills and within 4 years of her accident, achieved her goal of racing in the 2010 Vancouver Paralympics. She is now aiming to medal in 2011 World Championships and going for gold in 2014 Sochi Paralympics!
