Janine Shepherd�s story reads like the plot of a hollywood movie. A champion cross country skier in training for the winter Olympics, her life was irrevocably altered when she was run over by a truck during a training bicycle ride to the Blue Mountains. Janine is much in demand as one of Australias most sought after motivational speakers. She travels extensively in Australia and overseas sharing her story with others. Janine has recently been named as one of only ten recipients of the 'Outstanding Young Persons of the World' award for 1998 from Junior Chamber International.
