She broke four world records at the WPC World Championships in Florida
A Nottinghamshire powerlifter said she 'couldn't quantify' how grateful she was to a retirement village that helped fund her gold-winning trip to the United States. Maureen Proctor, known as Mo, broke four world records at the WPC World Championships in Florida.
After an auction, summer fair and other fundraising activities, Mo had raised enough to cover her trip, including flights, hotel and kit, all at a cost of £3,000. Once she was in Florida, Mo admitted that she felt an added pressure, but said she used it as motivation as she tackled a 150kg deadlift. "I try not to let anything get in the way or pressurise me but when I got there I did think there's a lot of people that have paid for me to get here," she said.
