choffer Posted September 26, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted September 26, 2018 Not that anyone would have her their list but a life worth celebrating nevertheless - Hilary Lister: Quote Hilary Lister, the first quadriplegic person to sail across the English Channel, has died at the age of 46. Ms Lister, from Dunkirk, Kent, made the journey in 2005 using straws in her mouth to control her boat. She was also the first disabled woman to sail solo around Britain and set another record by crossing the Indian Ocean. Her stepson, Alex Lister, said: "She was the definition of an inspirational woman." He added: "She turned the suffering she was experiencing into an opportunity." Her mother, Pauline Rudd, described her daughter as "gifted" and added: "She inspired me, she inspired all of us to take risks, to live life to the full. "We were very privileged to have her as a daughter and as a sibling." A progressive neurological disorder, reflex sympathetic dystrophy, left Ms Lister in a wheelchair from the age of 15. She gradually lost the use of all her body from the neck down. Mrs Rudd said: "There was nothing the medics could do except pain control. It was just a creeping paralysis." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
