Name on the inside cover

Natalie du Toit's story is a truly inspirational one of the courage required to overcome adversity. She has done it with steely determination and unfaltering humour. At 22, Natalie has achieved phenomenal success as an international swimming sensation and inspires South Africans through her tireless charity work. Her leg was amputated after an horrific scooter accident in 2001 and just 124 days later, she was competing against able-bodied swimmers in the Western Province winter gala. In 2002 Natalie made history swimming the 800m freestyle (able-bodied) final at the Commonwealth Games and was awarded the David Dixon award for outstanding athlete. Swimming in both able-bodied and disabled events, Natalie has continued to win hearts (and medals) and, most recently, broke another two records at the 2006 Paralympic World Cup in Manchester. Refusing to give up on her dream, Natalie is now in training for the Beijing Olympics in 2008. Tumble Turn is her story.
