Top of the World - Surviving the Manchester Bombing to Scale Kilimanjaro in a Wheelchair

About the author

Fiona Duffy has worked as a journalist for more than thirty years. After graduating from the College of Ripon and York St John she became an apprentice journalist with Westminster Press, gaining a diploma in Journalism. After seven years working in local newspapers, Fiona moved to women’s magazines and, eventually, became a freelance writer for national publications. Her work with victims of crime over two decades has also seen her co-launch and run the high-profile campaign for Helen’s Law which was added to the statute book in January 2021. As a result, convicted killers who refuse to disclose the whereabouts of their victims will face longer sentences. Fiona has won two awards for this work; Campaign of the Year 2019 at the British Journalism Awards and the national Making a Difference Campaign 2020 for Journalism Matters. Fiona lives in Sutton Coldfield, West Midlands, with her husband, two children and Sprollie (a springer spaniel-collie cross) dog, Maddie.
