I’m honoured to be featured in the South Wales Argus 100 amazing women of Gwent: WITH tomorrow’s International Women’s Day Wales celebrating the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women across the globe, we’ve compiled our own 100 Amazing Women of Gwent.

Vanessa Ruck

A Monmouth-based social media influencer who has won national awards for her YouTube and creative online content.

She set up her thegirlonabike Instagram account having undergone surgery for a third time after being hit by a car that jumped a red light in 2014.

Now shares her adventures and passion for bikes with thousands of followers on social media.

If you’re new to my page – it’s more than just dirt bike riding, Harleys and racing, I’m on a mission to prove that nothing is impossible if you want it bad enough. See more about my story plus read about my life-changing accident, which started it all.
