The writing of this book has given me the chance to reflect back over the last twenty-five years. During this time, my family have always been there for me, sharing the highs and the lows I would like to thank my mother Alice and father Cliff, sadly no longer with us for their unconditional love. My wife Maribel and my daughter Elena thank you for the support, perspective and love through the months of thinking, writing and re-writing. Finally sharing my reflections, frustrations and hopes through the course of building this book together has been a real pleasure thank you Carola. —John Pringle To Michael who is always there when I need him and Anna, Sophia and Cara who I want to know that everything is possible if you believe in yourself —Carola Hieker
