London Bees winger Courtnay Ward-Chambers has overcome life-threatening illness, injury and self-doubt on her way to becoming a professional footballer - but now she faces a new struggle to save her career.

The ex-Millwall and QPR winger admits it is "a miracle" she overcame brain damage and paralysis as a child to earn a living in the sport she loves.

But now, at the age of just 23, she is having to fight all over again after losing the feeling in her right leg for the second time in her life.

Sharing her experiences with Sky Sports News during Mental Health Awareness Week, Ward-Chambers describes a life of tremendous hardship in physical and emotional pain - but of also receiving help.
