In My Dreams I Dance Wafula-Strike Anne
They said it couldn't be done. This is her incredible story.Struck down with polio at the age of two and a half, Anne overcame the prejudice rife in her native village in Kenya, where neighbours believed she was cursed and called her a snake because of her disability, which left her paralysed below the waist.Losing her mother at a tender age, and sent to a school far away from home, she achieved fantastic academic results, amidst the challenges of a military coup. But Anne Wafula achieved many remarkable things in her life.
Where, against all odds, she bore a child, and went on to be the first East African to compete in her sport internationally. She went to university and qualified as a teacher, and fell in love with a British man who truly valued her defiant spirit.She moved from a world with no running water to make a life for herself in modern Britain.
