When the production of The Phantom Of The Opera came to town, it brought with it excitement and love for the arts.

Despite being confined to a wheelchair, positivity radiates through Law King Kew. It is hard to believe that this cheerful lady suffered from spinal cord injury at age 19.

Determined not to let her disabilities get the best of her, she made a vow to live her life to the fullest.
