To celebrate the release of Frances Ryan's groundbreaking manifesto Who Wants Normal?, we’ve partnered up with Neo-Walk to give three lucky fans the chance to win a cane of choice plus a copy of the book - with the choice of a hardback signed by the author, eBook or audiobook read by Ruth Madeley.
Who Wants Normal? The Disabled Girls' Guide to Life lifts the lid off a subject that is too often shrouded in stereotypes and silence. It offers support, inspiration and a sense of solidarity to the 1 in 4 women with long-term health conditions – and will open the eyes of anyone wanting to better understand what life is really like with a disability.
Neo-Walk's mission is to break down the stigma of walking aids and allow you to rediscover your best self. Their innovative and beautiful walking sticks give people everywhere confidence and style.
