Everybody has a certain degree of human courage that they can draw on in a difficult situation but human courage only goes so far. In our quieter moments we all must consider how we would cope with catastrophe and tragedy and whether the experience would crush or strengthen us. This is probably the reason most of us admire people who have experienced tragedy and instead of being crushed find an inner strength to fight back. I have thought about this over the weekend seeing the bravery of Gill Hicks, a victim of the London bombings on 7th July 2005, who lost both legs in the attack and who has completed a 250 mile walk from Leeds on her artificial limbs to publicise her Walktalk charity.
