It's not the taking part, it's the winning that counts for Patina! Patty, as she's known to her friends, has lost her dad and her mum has lost her legs. Now she has to go to the posh school and her run team has become a relay team. Independent ""I can do it all"" Patty has to work with her team mates to win.
