Just two days after celebrating her 93rd birthday, Scotland resident Sheila Ferres has published her first book. Called “Life of Giving,” the book chronicles Ferres’ life and includes her battle with polio, which she contracted when she was 30 years old. Today Ferres resides in Banchory, Aberdeenshire, Scotland and has devoted her life to helping others, despite being handicapped from polio. Since 2000 she’s raised £200,000 for her charity, Chart, and has founded a dementia care center in memory of her late sister. All proceeds of her book will go to her charity. In an interview she said, “Although I have been very handicapped from the age of 30, I have accepted it and used all my knowledge [of what it’s like] to benefit everybody else.”
