Helen, of Spiro Close, Pulborough, marked the 22nd anniversary of her transplant on Septeber 22 by holding special book launches.
Helen said: “Horsham is a great town to do business in. Being ‘local’ from Pulborough means that I network and run public speaking training workshops in Horsham often. It is a great place and Bill’s was the perfect venue for my launch. Horsham was very welcoming.”
She added: “The book launch was a wonderful celebration of a long and challenging project. It was wonderful being surrounded by many friends in business and some of my family who joined me.”
