Congratulations! | Your radical is Betty Tebbs (1918-2017)

Betty Tebbs was an activist and peace campaigner. Betty lived an inspirational life of activism; campaigning for over 80 years.

You sometimes feel over-committed and stretched in achieving all that you want to do.  Betty, through her work, campaigning and steadfast resolve took on a lot in her own life to make the lives of others better.  Like you, she recognised many things are worth fighting for!
