Daily Star<\/a> about her struggles with MRSA, which she contracted while recovering from pneumonia at the hospital.<\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019ve got nerve damage. I can stand but I can\u2019t walk, and I use leg splints when I do stand. It was 17 years ago when I got MRSA. I was so ill I can\u2019t remember a lot about it,\u201d she told the publication back in 2012.<\/p>\n
She added: \u201cIt should have killed me because I had septicaemia. I\u2019m lucky to be alive. When I was told I\u2019d be in a wheelchair it was actually a relief because I was falling over and I was so exhausted. Initially I managed to get up on crutches but it was causing so much damage that the only option was to use a chair full-time.\u201d<\/p>\n
Moulton began dancing with Lyness in 2010, with the pair going on to become the UK\u2019s first IPC registered couple in 2013. They were the UK\u2019s first and only top class Latin Wheelchair Dance Sport couple and competed for Team GB in Para Dance.<\/p>\n
The pair founded Strictly Wheels in 2016, a foundation providing wheelchair dance classes and workshops in Manchester raising awareness and promoting wheelchair dance across the country.<\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n
