Mel Baker is the kind of person that’s hard to describe in a few words – or even a few sentences. She has been through worse pain, hurt, abuse than some could ever imagine. But that’s not what defines her.

What defines her is what she did afterwards. Each and every time the world let her down – she dusted herself off and got back up again. More than that, she learnt to fly.
