Forgiving myself after killing a classmate

Lis Cashin’s life was defined by a tragic childhood incident – she accidentally killed her school friend with a javelin on sports day and spent years overcoming the guilt.

When Lis Cashin was 13, she took part in a javelin competition in her school sports day. But in a freak accident, the javelin veered off course, and a friend of hers was killed.
