Congratulations are in Order

More awards, but this time not for SpinVox but for a friend of SpinVox!

Anna Hemmings, Britain’s leading female marathon canoeist, was named last week as both Elmbridge 2007 Sports Personaility of the Year, (for the second year in a row!), and also the BBC London 2007 Sports Personality of the year.

*APPLAUSE*

Now I’ve never met Anna, but word on the street in SpinVox HQ is that this fantastic success is what we’ve all come to expect of the winner of ELEVEN (count ‘em) World and Championship medals, NINE of them gold and successful defender of her K1 Marathon Racing World Championship title, now having held it for 3 consecutive years.

And all this achieved despite being told just over three years ago that she would never race again due to suffering from Chronic fatigue Syndrome!

Wow… I don’t think I’m ever phoning in sick ever again.

Find out more about Anna over at her official website. Or failing that - see what she’s up to RIGHT NOW by reading her Official Blog.

This kind of stuff is actually quite awesome and really does make you stop and think of what can be achieved when you really put your mind to it.
SpinVox are chuffed to bits to be Anna’s sponsor and wish her every success in 2008.

Good luck Anna, and congratulations from everyone here at SpinVox.
