Gold medal winner.


Hi everybody Here`s a bit of news that i feel might make you feel a bit better and cheer you up a bit.I was just reading the sports section in my local newspaper when i discovered that Dia Greene, the British winner of the 400m hurdles gold at that world championships suffers from epilepsy.and has had the condition from his late teens.
So remember,because you suffer from the condition doesn`t mean you have to settle for second best, you can still be the worlds best as long as you have belief in your your self and are willing to put in the effort.

Florence Griffith-Joyner, one of the USA's greatest female track stars ever, suffered from epilepsy. She died from suffocating in her pillow when she had a grand-mal.

Well Done C0urt .
Pity about the seizure later though, I hope you weren't hurt too badly.
