Amanda O’Keefe
Beauty Therapist and Charity Fundraiser
Women of Courage - Runner Up
Amanda achieved her ambitions despite having enormous problems blocking her path, none of which deterred her. She escaped a destructive relationship, left a secure job to start a new life running her own business and now also employs others. She supported her family and friends through their critical illnesses and raised £2,800 for MIND by reaching the summit of Kilimanjaro in five days of exhausting physical effort. Her determination, generosity, courage, dedication, and positive attitude are an inspiration to everyone.
