In Pursuit of 'Normal'

When a routine hip replacement operation takes a dangerous turn, Martha's life is put at risk. Despite the doctors giving up hope of her waking up from the coma, her family's faith in her unwavering determination to recover keeps them going.

This wasn't the first time the doctors had lost hope in Martha. She stopped breathing at birth, resulting in brain damage and a diagnosis of Dystonic Cerebral Palsy. Martha’s parents were committed to treating her like her siblings, and Martha thrived. Throughout her life, she aspired to be like everyone else. Despite her severe Cerebral Palsy, Martha enjoyed her education, which opened doors to various opportunities in her career and personal life.

Join Martha on an inspiring journey as she shares her autobiography, In Pursuit of 'Normal'. Despite living with a disability, Martha refuses to give up on life. Her candid account of struggles and triumphs makes her story a wellspring of inspiration for others, showing that anything is possible with a sense of humour and determination. It's not just a tale of survival; it's a testament to her strength and resolve.
