Leader Joanne Kempley’s swim win

May 8 2010 by Joanne Douglas, Huddersfield Daily Examiner

LET’S take time out from politics to praise Huddersfield’s Joanne Kempley who has won three European titles at the Downs Syndrome European Swimming Championships.

The town already has a rich swimming tradition with Anita Lonsbrough who won gold in 1960.

Joanne is a wonderful example to all youngsters to what can be done with determination, sheer hard work and a will to win.
