She Needs Help

UK -- Scotland: Former martial art arts champion and WTF World Championship silver medal winner, 33-year-old Kirsten McLaughlin from Glasgow, has been heavily hit by multiple sclerosis, according to dailyrecord.co.uk.

In spite of her severe condition, which requires round-the-clock care from her 34-year old husband, she has been denied disability living allowance. Why? Because she can still talk ... that's why.

"My life and my social circle was based around taekwondo and I've lost everything," she says. "It breaks my heart not to be able to take the boys to training."

Update:
September 8, dailyrecord.co.uk wrote that 33-year-old Kirsten McLaughlin had her case overturned.

The authorities reportedly called the former TKD champion with the good news after her heartbreaking story appeared in the Daily Record.
