My new life
Sonja, 29, Llangollen
Working full time in a windowless room cut Sonja off from the natural world around her; but spending time in wild places has helped her to discover herself since a shock diagnosis two years ago. Volunteering for the Wildlife Trust led to a career change, and Sonja now works to inspire others to get outdoors and on the water to find her wild life.
