"Would never walk"

This is an older story (from 2002). Still, it's a great inspirational piece!

Story:
A south Wales schoolgirl with cerebral palsy has stunned her doctors by taking up the tough sport of kick-boxing, after being told she would never be able to walk when she was a baby.

Twelve-year-old Sinead Lurvey, from Cwmbran, is partially paralysed down one side of her body, but has won her first belt just eight weeks after going into the gym.

Sinead was seven-months-old when doctors told her parents she would be disabled by the physical condition which affects movement as a result of an injury to the brain.
