Double celebration

Great to see someone who hasn't fallen for the (largely) American novelty of handling out black belts. Keep up the good work ladies, and congratulations to you both!

Story:
UK -- A mother and daughter team enjoyed a double celebration after gaining their black belts in karate within minutes of each other.

Elizabeth Davies, a karate instructor and her 13-year-old daughter, Lauren, have been studying the martial art together for the past five years.

Lauren was diagnosed with bronchiectasis just a year ago, a condition similar to cystic fibrosis which affects her lungs.

Despite knowing she will be on medication for the rest of her life, Lauren has continued her training, which helps alleviate the symptoms.
