THIRTY youngsters were inspired by a talk given by footballer Fabrice Muamba yesterday.
The teenagers had signed up for the National Citizen Service programme, which includes a week of kayaking and rock climbing.
The programme closes with a talk from a motivational speaker and this year, the 16 and 17-year-olds were treated to a meeting with the sports star who became a household name after he suffered cardiac arrest on the pitch.
