She was still at pre-school when she realised that names on the front of books belonged to the people who had written them. It was also around this time when Hannah became aware that her body didn’t work in the same way as her friends at childcare. Hannah has since started the Krazy Kosci Klimb, which supports young people with Cerebral Palsy to climb Australia's highest peak.
