Shelly Woods
Aiming for gold at the Beijing Paralympics

Shelly Woods won this year’s London Marathon - as well as the Great North Run - and holds no less than 6 British records. Tipped to bring back at least one gold medal from the Beijing Paralympics, Shelly has been in a wheel chair since she fell out of a tree at the age of eleven. She joins Jane to talk about her work as an ambassador for the Rebuilding Lives Through Sport project and her plans to emulate Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson and become one of the country's great paralympians.
