She has fought all her life--not just for herself, but for others too.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNow aged forty-eight, there was a stage when she thought she would not live long enough to see her son grow up, to ride a horse again, to travel the world, or to follow one of her greatest passions--to push herself to the limit while raising money for charity at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDebbie is one of the few people in the world to suffer from dermatomyositis. One in a million are affected by this debilitating condition that can leave sufferers totally paralyzed, in a wheelchair, and unable to walk or even to talk in some cases.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHer reaction when she was eventually diagnosed was not to sit back and be a victim.
