IF anyone ever moans to you about this generation of young people being lazy, show them today’s front page about Ana Duprey – because the 22-year-old from Nailsworth is a true inspiration.

It would have been easy for her to lie down to her injuries and settle for a life of handouts and support, but she chose to fight instead.

Overcoming her horrific injuries to walk again was impressive enough, but to then take on such a gruelling challenge to raise money for others in need is truly remarkable.

I hope the people of Stroud, who are renowned for their generosity, get behind Ana and donate to the worthy causes she is supporting.
