"On June 12, 2000 Lisa Burnette entered Royal London Hospital suffering
from meningococcal septicaemia - a life threatening infection. After the
removal of her legs, nine operations and five months in hospital Lisa
began a grueling recovery process. Moving back to her native Australia,
Lisa had to leave behind the carefree lifestyle of her early twenties
and begin a new life; life as an amputee. It was to be the start of a
powerful journey for Lisa. Of the strenuous physical challenges to
recovery mapped against the inevitable emotional hurdles. It has been a
journey with numerous layers, a journey she continues to this day and a
journey that Lisa now makes step by step."
