Speaking Engagements/Seminar Testimonials    

Thank you for an awe-inspiring session.  Your balance between personal experience as the mother of a young person who suddenly aquired a disability, and your findings in you recent research on the impact of stroke on families was a fitting finale to our week on paediatrics.

Feedback from the students included "We've never been quiet for 1? hours before" and "No-one has ever talked to us like that."

I feel sure that this session will remain with our students for a long time, and I thank you for sharing it with us.

A View from Within...
is Pauline Grogan's highly anticipated book about the life of James Lynch, a heroic and inspirational person who has touched many peoples lives. 

" 'A View from Within' is one of the most inspirational, spiritual memoirs I have ever read. James Lynch was indeed paralysed for most of his life, but in reading about it, I feel I have walked with a luminous spirit - one who, by acceptance of suffering, transcended it." -   Author Robert Waldren, Boston, USA
