Granada Reports Advent Heroes: Meet Zumba instructor Hannah Payton!

  • Granada Reports Advent Heroes: Day 4 - Hannah Payton

Every day in December we're opening a door of our Granada Reports Advent Calendar of local heroes.

Each day, we'll be meeting someone who has gone above and beyond in what has been a very difficult year.

Today is the turn of Hannah Payton - who recently became the UK's first person with Down's Syndrome to become a Zumba Instructor.

She took up Zumba during lockdown, and is urging people never to stop chasing their dreams.
