All the Boswell and Ruston family for sticking together no matter what. And the Simpson family for welcoming me into their hearts.

My brothers for being my right and left sides and making me whole.
I love you all.
All the armed forces who's labour means we can live the way we do and enjoy our freedom. "Freedom don't come free". Lance Armstrong for being an inspiration. Read "It's not about the bike" to understand why we all must fight for life. Anyone who's suffered adversity but had the strength to carry on. Anyone who dedicates their life to helping others. http://www.redcross.org.uk/
