performance and eco-credentials the thumbs up . `` it felt good and i can see these boards being popular with surfers . we spend a lot of time on the beach and in the sea and surfers have been campaigning to clean up the oceans for years . this board goes hand-in-hand with that philosophy , '' said harris . the surfboard has been in development in the south west of england for five years and is the culmination of a collaboration between the eden project gardens and biosphere and three local companies . cassandra was diagnosed with hodgkin 's lymphoma in september , and doctors gave her an 85 % chance of survival if treated but said she would die within two years if left untreated . she started the treatment in november but ran away after two days , according to court documents ,

people who could laminate in hemp cloth and plant-based resin , so we went for it . it was a eureka moment : we thought , let 's really have a go , let 's really see what we can do , '' he told cnn . hines and the eden project team soon realized that balsa and hemp cloth were too heavy for commercially viable surfboards , but desire remained to produce a surfboard that reduces the reliance on petroleum chemicals and uses more sustainable materials . joette katz , commissioner of the connecticut department of children and families , said in a statement that they are pleased that cassandra is healthy and has recovered . she credits the doctors at children 's medical center and the staff at her department for this happy outcome . | . updated : . 06:53 est , 15 june 2012 . after her

, it makes no difference to being married . what marriage stands for is that you love that person . acknowledging that the ordeal has been difficult for cassandra and her family , katz said , `` we were responsible to save cassandra 's life under these circumstances , and we are very happy that she is now moving successfully to another phase in her life -- a healthy and happy one .
