Cunningham, Julie: - Julie was born in New Zealand, then moved to Queensland, Australia where she owned and operated a small women's footwear manufacturing company. During this time, she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl and enjoyed being a busy mum. During an extended trip to the Kingdom of Tonga she met and married the love of her life, an American charter boat captain. She and her husband, along with her daughter, moved to Panama, where they managed an elite sportfishing lodge in the middle of the Darien Jungle. After several years they moved to Mexico where they lived for a few years before returning to Julie's place of birth, New Zealand. Despite the fact Julie is now legally blind, she has overcome the obstacles and become a published author.
