A young woman from St Albans has paid tribute to the life-changing impact of her Duke of Edinburgh award as the country prepares for the funeral of Prince Philip.
Myah Richards, 21, who has cerebral palsy and spastic diplegia, said that achieving a Bronze Award three years ago helped break down the barriers of perception around her disability and gave her the confidence to enrol on a college course.
Myah, who also has Tourette’s Syndrome and visual impairment meaning she has no peripheral vision, completed her Bronze DofE programme while at Lonsdale School in Stevenage.
