• ... that former BBC Newsround reporter Lucy Mathen is now an eye doctor, and has launched a volunteer group aimed at eradicating cataract blindness in India?

• Comment: I originally had "ophthalmologist" in the hook but switched to "eye doctor" as this seems to be easier for general readers of MainPage. I'm okay either way. --PFHLai (talk) 23:49, 2 October 2011 (UTC)

• Length, date, hook and sources check out. She has a very interesting biography. It should also be noted that Mathen was the BBC's first female reporter of Asian descent. Scanlan (talk) 21:25, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
