After 7/7 "I'm doing things I never thought possible"
Ten years after she lost both legs in the 7th of July bombings in London, Martine Wright says she couldn't be happier.
Fifty-two people were killed, and hundreds injured in four separate explosions.
The attacks came less than 24 hours after the city had been awarded the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
Martine was injured in the Aldgate underground explosion; she was in a coma for ten days and underwent ten months of surgery.
She went on to represent Great Britain in the 2012 Paralympics in the sitting volleyball and says she thinks losing her legs was all part of her fate in life.
