3. HOW SHE LOST HER LEG
In Canada [where Stef grew up] they have a thing called ‘tubing’
where you attach an inner tube to a motorboat. The point is to go
very fast and then you fall off and they come back and pick you
up.
I saw the boat coming in the distance and thought they were
coming to pick me up. Too late I realised they had not seen me.
The propellers caught me across my lower back. The water around
me was blood red. I thought I had been cut in half. The next issue
was that we were three hours away from a half-decent hospital.
Unfortunately the leg was so mangled that it had to be
amputated. So I was really thankful to be alive. But with my love
for sport, I was absolutely devastated. The stuff that you love to
do, you are told that you cannot do it any more.

4. Long jump
Long jump is a jumping game what you do is first
you get a run off . second you jump off one of the
colours on the mat. Third when you have jumped
you land on the sand.

5. How did Stef get into her sport?
 She was playing rugby but now she plays athletics
because she likes athletics more.

6. Career Higlights
 She got a silver in long jump.

7. How has God been involved in her
life?
 She did not know god. She had never asked him
what his plan was for her life. She didn’t come
from a Christian family but she went to a Christian
school. She remembered God when she was in the
ambulance and so she started praying for God to give
her a second chance.
