Sheila was just 26 when she contracted meningococcemia. She was in coma for 8 days but survived. She regained her strength but her limbs remained black and lifeless. Barely a month later, she had to make the most difficult decision in her life - face amputation of her limbs or die from the infection. This is her story.

Las Vegas!
Sheila has been invited to speak at the Hanger Annual Education Fair and Exhibition in Las Vegas in early February 2012. For those who are not familiar with Hanger, it is a company that specializes in orthotics and prosthetics. Another exciting opportunity for Sheila who loves and is very much at ease with public speaking.
