Paying the Price by Stephanie Millward

She returned to competitive swimming 10 years later in the GB Paralympic squad at the Beijing Olympics, before going on to win four Olympic silvers and one bronze at the London 2012 Games. She is also a multiple IPC World & European champion. This book is an honest account of the struggles and dark times of her illness, and yet is inspirational in her subsequent battle to go on and achieve so many of her goals regardless.
"Stephanie Millward's story is one of the most inspiring in British sportHer courage opened my eyes to the joy of Paralympic competition" Oliver Holt - Daily Mirror "Stephanie is first and foremost a great athlete, one of our most successful swimmers and a true heroine from the Paralympic Games. But as this book shows, that is not even half the story. Her battle with MS, the impact it had on her life and how she is working hard every day to overcome it is laid out here in inspiring fashion. I would urge anyone with a love of sport, but also of the strength of human spirit to read it" Tim Hollingsworth, Chief Executive, British Paralympic Association
