On Target!

Listen to the item

Kay Lucas was - and still is - a very busy woman. She held down two jobs, she was bringing up two children and she and her husband Kim were also keen and competitive archers. Then in the 1990s, two appalling mishaps left her having to use a wheelchair and in almost permanent pain. Oddly enough, nearly as much as the support of her family, it was archery that gave her impetus to come back fighting - she's now aiming for the Beijing Olympics!

Our reporter Maggie Ayre went to meet Kay at her home in Ludlow, Shropshire.
