Abigail Irozuru has credited her faith in God for ending her injury woes and wait for an Olympic debut.

A life that seemed to offer so much, fast becoming robbed of even the resemblance of promise and hope, whilst bringing misery on everyone he touched and those that loved him. This all changed one incredible weekend in May 1997. One incident after another that weekend led to dramatic events that would change Stuart’s life, and those lives he would go on to touch, forever.
