Heather Mills is a well-known public figure, environmental speaker, activist, and model from the UK. She gained public attention after a car accident resulted in her amputation, and she sold her story to a tabloid newspaper. Using the proceeds, she set up a charitable organization that recycles old prostheses for disadvantaged amputees. Mills has since become a motivational speaker for the disabled and amputee community. Mills gained further fame when she began a romantic relationship with former Beatle, Sir Paul McCartney, after which she became a prominent environment speaker and animal rights activist. She is a patron of Viva! (Vegetarians' International Voice for Animals) and has worked as an ambassador and motivational speaker for the Vegetarian and Vegan Foundation. In addition to her charity work, Mills is also vice-president of the Limbless Association and frequently appears at disabled advocacy and after-dinner speaker events. She has a passion for skiing and has won several gold medals for her abilities. Although she stepped down from the British Winter Paralympic team before the Winter Olympics, Mills remains involved in disability sport and continues to motivate others by discussing her desire to overcome limitations. Mills is also an outspoken vegan who owns a chain of vegan restaurants and a brand of vegan foods. She actively manages and develops her various endeavours and often speaks at vegetarian, vegan, and animal rights conventions. In a recent interview, Mills shared her experiences of overcoming adversity and emphasized her belief that "even the impossible is possible."
