A bodybuilding mum told how she took up the sport to help deal with the stress of looking after her severely disabled son.
Mum-of-three Laura Beesley, from Stirling, did barely any exercise from 2012 to 2018 after leaving the military. The 32-year-old got into going to the gym with the encouragement of husband Mike, 33, who works as a firefighter, and found it helped her mentally.
Her eldest son, Logan, 13, is in a wheelchair due to a neuronal migration disorder similar to cerebral palsy and can be physically demanding. Laura said she found the gym became a coping mechanism, but this year she stepped up her efforts and lost 8kg.
