Effort Shauna, good tick!

In reply to UKC News: Another great effort from Shauna. I wonder why there is no mention of her destroying Rock Attrocity in 15 minutes...

Fantastic! A very special lady...

Shauna's dad, Mike, is the unseen, unsung hero in all of this. For years, he ferried her to the wall, belayed patiently, coached her with wisdom. Often he'd driven all over the place at work, earlier in the day, and was shagged out, probably part of him yearning to just sit beside the fire with his feet up. But the support was never-ending. And, I guess, he knew that one day, she'd fly the nest as the young must, to realise their dreams.

So Shauna's much-deserved success - which we will see more of - is a tribute to massive talent... and good old (well, not so old!) dad.
