Dani was 9 when she was diagnosed with OCD ( Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder), an illness with devastating effects, causing an inability to control one’s thoughts about everyday events, leaving acute feelings of anxiety, despair and paranoia. These irrational fears became crippling, leaving Dani unable to attend school for 5 months. Dani then developed anorexia, and spent 6 months in hospital.

The Royal Hospital School took all three Junior Team trophies at this year’s Devizes to Westminster Canoe Marathon – the best School Team, best CCF (combined cadet force) Team and best Junior Team overall.

Around 600 kayakers and canoeists took part in the 125-mile race this Easter weekend, pitting their skill, physical and mental stamina and determination against one the toughest endurance events in the world. The Senior Doubles complete the course non-stop, through the night, to finish at Westminster Bridge on Easter Sunday while the 15-19 year olds must complete the course over four days, dragging weary bodies into boats for each stage of the demanding race.
