Hello,

Sometimes ordinary people are thrust into extraordinary events.

When she was just 13 Rowan Venables was forced to hide in a lift shaft while a crazed terrorist killed dozens of people in a gun rampage.

That horrific day will live with Rowan for the rest of her life.

But she has refused to let it define her, she has refused to let it shadow her life.

Her story, below, should be an inspiration to us all.

Have a great weekend.
