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.
Please note this competition is now closed.
