Four days after her fiftieth birthday celebrations, Julie Randall suffered a very sudden and severe seizure at work.

After getting over the initial shock, Julie fought off the fear and started searching for hope. She found an American experimental drug trial, but was told there was only room for 70 patients and the numbers were full. Julie had promised her teenage daughters that she would find a way to 'fix it' so she refused to take no for an answer. She became PATIENT 71. She discovered that when you push the boundaries, refuse to give up and never lose sight of your goal... extraordinary things can happen.Trade Review"I laughed and cried all the way through as Julie fought everyday issues during terrible circumstances.
