Tania joined Breakfast with Martin Bester on Monday morning to tell her fairytale.  

Tania said: “I'm a normal person who shoots music videos to edit. Nine years ago, I was in a car accident that paralysed me from the waist down. Ever since I became paralysed, I said I was going to walk down the aisle. I got engaged. I practiced for eight years with the full body support device I have, I kept practicing although it was tiring.”
