I have known Janine (aka: Jin, Mrs Bowring, JOB) since the day after she was born!
My family lived next to her parents in Wales and when her mum brought baby Janine home from the hospital I was one of the first to have a cwtch. Janine and her sisters Hannah and Caroline are like little cousins to me and while not officially family are definitely part of my welsh family.
Janine's life has had it's ups and downs and I was so happy for her when she met the love of her life, Matt. Diagnosed with a really serious disease that nearly cost her life, Janine fought back, determined not to let it beat her just as her life was going so well. Beat it she did and while still having regular chemotherapy treatment to keep the symptoms of her rare disease at bay she dedicates her time to helping other people battle through illness while also raising funds and awareness for many charities.
Only Janine could spend her honeymoon climbing mountains in her wedding dress, such is her determination that her illness will not rob her of the the best years of her life/
