From the outside looking in, Elaine was raised in your average household - Mum, Dad and 2 children.

But as Elaine grew older, she started to realise that her mother was being emotionally abusive towards her.

She's here today to share her story and to explain why she chose to cut-off from her family for good.

Holly Budge is a modern day wonder woman. She started out as an adventurer, she was the first woman to skydive Mount Everest and she has jumped out of a place thousands of times.

But when she came across the plight of wild animals, especially elephants, in Africa, and the thousands of poachers who illegally kill them every year for their ivory and other materials, she knew she wanted to be part of the anti-poaching fight. Even if it meant travelling to Africa's front lines.... and risking her own life.

On the 11th of September 2001, Michael Dorian, dressed in scrubs, raced towards the pile of debris that was now all that was left of the twin towers. He knew people would assume he was a doctor, but he wasn't, he was a veterinary technician. Whilst he was there, he helped many firefighters and volunteers.

In the years that followed, Michael became unwell. He had skin cancer, caused by wading through the rubble and debris of the twin towers. He needed special treatment to try to pro-long his life, but he had to prove that he had been there on 9/11 to get money from the World Trade Centre Victim's Compensation Fund.

Michael's story is incredible, so incredible that his best friend Neil Adam's has written a book on his life.
