Defies the odds

UK -- Angi Marsden, 42, had to give up her dream of becoming a professional dancer when she discovered she had FSH Muscular Dystrophy, which causes weakening of the muscles, at the age of 18.

However, despite having to use a wheelchair or a walking stick to get around, she has managed to juggle a full-time job at Leeds Metropolitan University with being a mother of three, attending martial arts classes and becoming a green belt in karate.

Now Angi is set to take over as leader of the Swarcliffe branch of Slimming World, having joined five months ago and lost a stone.
