I went for my usual swim today and there was a massively obese lady in the pool. I think she probably had some learning difficulties and some awful people were laughing at her.

She was so overweight she could barely move her arms to get a front crawl going but she was really going for it! She was so very slow but she was in the pool about half hour and didn't stop once.
I wanted to cheer her on! If somebody like her can get out there and put the effort in then we all have NO excuses!

    I hope and pray there are more people like you in this world! If only she knew you inspired her!

    It is amazing how cruel people can be, but what an amazing testament to the kind of person you are, and the kind of people those who laughed at her are. You both saw the same woman, and you saw her effort as beautiful and inspirational, and their insecurity and whatever else, God knows, made them decide to mock her. You, and she, rock!
