I am not sure if this is the correct avenue however I would love to send on my regards To Margret and if possible for her to make contact. We worked togethter manby years ago in New Zealand. 64 9 3674704

I saw a film about her on CNN. I admired her so much! She is such an good example of powerful women. CatWomen!

I saw the documentary on Margaret Moth on CNN. Where is a good website/reference to her life? Perhaps a biographical account of her life?

I saw this documentary about her on CNN .She is a real woman.

I just saw the CNN documentary about Margaret Moth as well. Wonderful! Wonderful! I was also completely blown-away by the guitar solo during the roll of credits at end of the presentation. How can I find the music credits? I want to hear more from that guitarist.

I also watched the documentary on Margaret Moth and it made me proud to be a woman. My thoughts are with her during this final battle.

She is such an inspiration for everyone. I am so glad to have seen the document on CNN.

One of the inspiring personalities of times and indeed FEARLESS!

What a brave women! It was hard to learn she has cancer.

i watched the documentary on ccn, superb she is very brave woman.

I am grateful that CNN did this documentary of Margaret. She is an inspiration for all, never mind gender. Her quiet courage and appreciation and passion for all of life and the planet is a model for all of us. My thoughts and prayers are with her as she does her final 'shoot'. Thank you Margaret.

Danny; Margaret is at the Mayo Hospice in Rochester, Minnesota. She has terminal cancer.

What was Margaret's quote on life being like a game of tennis - can you remind me?

where can we read or find out more about Margaret?

I am also not sure whether this is the correct avenue, however I too would like to hear from her if she is well enough, (64 3 318 1373), in any case I send her my regards and wish her well. I haven't seen the CNN documentary. I was her parachuting pilot at Taieri, Dunedin, NZ, probably about 1975. She was an amazing young woman then. I too have had cancer and fully sympathies with her and am thinking of her.

Just saw the CNN documentary on Margaret also and think there should at least be a wiki page on her. She is an amazing person i would love to meet.

She is simply amazing and unique!!!

I was unlucky to catch just fifteen minutes of the documentary but i have to say i am yet to meet a braver and more inspiring woman. God bless you Margret

My dear Margaret you are a true inspiration and you surely did it all your Way! Your love of animals I can really relate! All the best..

Answer to mary gordon Q.: She said something like life is like tennis, you don't know how the ball is coming to you but it's the way you hit it back that counts.

I, like so many others, just saw on CNN the "Fearless" documantary about Margaret Moth. Her work and her life, are truly an inspiration for the all world. I am so honor to have, now, know about her. I hope that someone would let Margaret know that we love and admire her and her work so much...and we all send our love. From now on, Margaret is my HERO!!!

In her honor, uploaded to YouTube: Part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OCTMrx8ZyfA Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rss_Zylkshg Part 3: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFYZMYxhAlM

I think life´s sort of like a game of tennis You have no choise over how that ball comes to you but it´s how you hit it back that counts. Margaret Moth

just watched the cnn documentary on Margaret Moss. Was spellbound she was, and Im sure, still is Fearless. I wish her Peace and LOve in her last battle

She said "life is like a tennis game. You can never control how the ball comes to you, but it is how you hit it back matters." I hope I got it right. After watching the documentary in CNN, she instantly becomes my hero.

"I think life's sort of like a game of tennis. You have no choice over how that ball comes to you, but it's how you hit it back that counts" by Margaret Moth

I saw this documentary of the highest quality. She is a brave woman in any sense. My thoughts are with her these days.

Typical of Amanpour to turn the story around to be about herself -- all that histrionic drivel about "If I had let her shooting prevent me from going to the danger zone, I'd never have had the career I've had" (visibly composes herself)... what an absurdly bloated ego.

i'm in the media industry and female so there was definately a strong connection after i saw the 'fearless' piece by CNN...a truly remarkable woman she is...a definate 'heroine' in my books...

I saw this documentary on Margaret Moth on CNN. I really feel lucky to have seen it. It is truely inspiring and motivating! The life story of Margaret would touch soul of everyone who sees it! Please let me know where i can read more about Margaret Moth, especially her current endeavour that people here are writing about.

Life is like a game of tennis you cant control how the ball comes to you but you can control how you hit the hit it back.

I watched the Fearless Documentary and i was blown away by her story and i felt inspired by her to live and love life like she hers.too bad about the cancer but glad to know that she i s handling it and dopes not have any regrets for she has heard such a rich life.My prayers are with you margaret and u are my hero!am a journalist myself and watching The Fearless Doc'encouraged me to be the best i can in my field and with much passion!

Thanks for the tennis quote.

I saw the documentary "Fearless"last night on CNN. I was so inspired by Margaret's bravery and her true beauty that surpassed any limitation imposed by a sniper's bullet. She is trully an example of a powerful and confident woman.

What an inspiration you are to us all.

I just watch "FEARLESS" documentary of Margaret a while ago. She's an amazing woman, enduring those many dangerous situations she was exposed to in her work. It's unfortunate that at the height of her career she had cancer. I wish her well.

I just watched the documentary on CNN. I loved her quotes, she is truly amazing and extraordinary. Absolutley fearless! Most of my family was in that exact war, and it is extremely inspiring to see such determination and courage coming from her. All the best :)

What an inspirational documentary! Now I am just searching all over the web for more information on this brave woman. If only we all can be this fulfilled when the end comes...

Margaret is one of the most inspiring people I have ever heard about. Such courage, passion for life, and inner strength, combined with a great love for animals is very unique and comes from a higher place. She has inspired me in many ways. My life has also been very troubled and having seen her story and listening to her very wise words has given me new energy to proceed with my life in a more positive way. I want to thank Margaret for sharing her story and I want to embrace her with my love.

You inspire all of us to live in the moment! no regrets and wasting a second! love you.

I salute you.

I love her, she lives her life to the fullest.. she's my hero..

Just saw a bit of Fearless today (9/25/09) on cnn.com. I was working in a Houston law firm when Margaret was shot; I worked with a good friend of hers. I have been taken by her story ever since. God speed.

this namesake of mine has gone through tough times and she came out a fine smiling lady who dose not let the troubles determine her life.am proud of her

her story is inspirational. loved the tennis quote!

Margaret, you inspired me ! God bless you !

She did one thing that stands her out-the little extra.Am motivated by her,no regrets whatsoever.

Margaret Moth is truly an inspiration to everyone who has seen the videos. I admire her grace in view of her terminal illness. She has had an amazing life. Peace be with you!

"not a herd animal" Beautiful. This was a life changing introduction to an outstanding woman. Thank you Ms. Moth. Straight ahead

I respect her, but Russian journalists go out of their way all the time (and get shot). If only American TV viewers paid less attention to eye candy and more attention to content, then the "Hardball" and "Situation Room" and other self-promoting names would not be as popular.

Margaret is a shining example of what it means to live your life everyday as though it is the best day you've ever had. Her determination to keep moving forward is what it means to be human.

i just watched now whole story. i cant spell anything but a "pioneer" Ankur New Delhi

I was very inspired by the piece on Margaret on CNN. Why don't we hear about women like this more often? She is a very neat, amazing woman who must have had some incredible past lives! ;)

She is amazing! My hero.

you live for us all margaret...bravo strong woman...my thoughts and prayers are with you...would love to contact you...thanks for your inspiration

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and life with us Margaret Moth --I especially like the way you chose your name...Truly you are one of a kind--my best to you as you continue your journey...

WOW, we should learn to live so fearlessly!

A life lived with grace and beauty. You are an inspiration, Margaret. Strength to you as you face this new challenge.

may you be miraclously cured of your sickness. You have suffered enough already, I hope n pray that you'll be cured soon. Good luck and God bless. your admirer. your

This documentary should be compulsary viewing in all schools all around the world as an example how to lead your life. In today's rotten world of greed, lies and dishonesty it is so inspirational to hear stories like this. I loved when she said that she is not religious yet she would shame many so called believers with her values and way she led her life. Fantastic.

she has indeed fullfil what God wanted her to. i wishher all the best.

I just watched the CNN biographical documentary depicting the courageous life of Margaret Moth. She is an awe inspiring woman--a true beacon of strength and pride.

I never see a brave woman like Magaret moth,in my life you are my hero !

Very impressive life's story.I really love the tennis quote.Wishing you God's speed.

She did completely inspire me and made me think more of our normal life and our inner life. Which one is more important and real? perhaps the answer is the latter

I had seen Margaret moth on tv on 24 September 2009 and at first could not under stand what she was saying but after reading the few lines written here , I have truly learnt to respect her courageousness and valour. Margaret, I salute you!

Dear Margaret, 1. My favorite part was the conclusion as you jumped out of the plane...and this showed you jumped the talk. You LIVED life to the FULLest. 2. You came up with your own name...True Artist do this. 3. Many LIVES will change when they see your story. 4. Continue to inspire to LOVE FREELY, LIVE FREELY and BE Free. Love Dylan in SE Asia

I'm also a Kiwi and watched this CNN programme yesterday in Italy. What a woman! She's lived life to the full and is an inspiration to all of us who have health problems (and those that don't) How do we find out how she is I wonder?

What a woman!

An inspiration that cant be described. I saw the documentary two days ago and cant stop thinking about it. Margareth I wish you all the best! And thank you

Dear Margaret! In case there is a little chance you read this, I would like to salute you! As a male person, as a brother, as a son. I was watching the CNN document, and tears were running down my cheek bones. Not because of sadness, but about being proud of you, altough I have never heard from you before, and never got to know your work or YOU in person! Be strong, wise and above all the same as you were and will be! My thoughts are with you! Zoltán.

She is an inspiration to humankind :) Live life to the fullest and without regrets

I've just watched the documentary about Margaret on CNN and she is one amazing woman! The end bit of her skydiving was a lovely way to end the story. She made me re-think what I want to do with my life. My prayers are with her during this trying time.

Im a young photojournalist and seeing her story inspired me greatly. And also her colleque at the end that said: "I said Yes, because I couldnt say NO" She's a real frontier and still a beautifull woman.

Margaret: from your old comrades at Ch 2 Houston; What a great career. Were proud of you.

Dear Margaret...I hope you are getting these wonderful comments....saying you have inspired me seems inadequate.....but that is how I feel. I wish you blue skies........

I wached the program on CNN And saw how beautiful Margaret was, as a young this made me sad because she lost her beautiful fase but still beautiful by her great past.

THESE ARE THE TRUE HEROES THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT MARGARET MOTH IS A HEROE IMAGINE - LEAVING FAMILY - FRIENDS - LOVED ONES TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE GOOD THINGS ARE YET TO COME WE LOVE YOU MARGARET ******

Dear Margau, U said: " Life is like a tennis game, U cannot control the way the ball is tossed at U...all U can do, is control the way U hit it back." U also mention that it did not matter to U whether 6 months or 20 years was a final call, because U felt not afraid since U felt U had taken enough from Life, not feeling panicked as would had U had a "boring" life...Dear Margau, in Ur country the Mauri have sayings for the Brave, and so are such sayings among Amerindian Nations, from the South, East, West and North. U say U got angry when people compared U to a daredevil, because U say U always took care not to jeopardize Ur life, nor that of Ur colleagues...Dear Margau, I thank the Great Spirit for allowing such Spirits as Urs teach us All some sense in doing the right thing,sometimes the least conventional way, because it is within us All, to commit the right thing, as each one of us is responsible for safety of the many. I wish U well, Sister of Humankind, I wish U well, be at Peace with the Great Spirit,for a smile accompanies U. Alexander Swirski, from Copenhagen, Denmark

Margaret, I just watched - unfortunately only part of - the doku about you on CNN. I have the greatest respect for you, especially because you do not believe in that kind of superstition commonly called religion; and because you live your life the way you think is right for you regardless of the opinion of others. Our world would be better off with more people, especially influential ones, like you. Best wishes to you for everything that is yet to come!

A wonderful women to know about. She sacrificed her entire life for bringing excellency in news. I just saw her film on CNN, felt its worth watching and good piece of motivation to the humankind. Her statement really inspired me and I try to quote " life is like a tennis game, never know how the ball is going to come. But hitting the ball to the right direction really matters" We are proud to have you around Margaret Moth - the brave and powerful women - Vijay from India

Dear Margaret, people of Sarajevo love you!

Margaret is an inspiration to young aspiring journalists like myself. The CNN did her justice, she is truely fearless!

What a brave beautiful lovely person you are Marg!!!! Incredible. I wish you can get well immediately. I wish you healing strength. Our thoughs and prayers are with you. Blessings from Australia.Peace.

Margaret, you've touched so many hearts, also mine!!! I admire you and I share my love for animals with you. Don't give up, keep going, people love you!!!

i just saw the piece on CNN, what a great woman, an inspiration , i wish her all the best.

I am a teenage girl living in Saudi Arabia and I had just seen the story on Moth's life.. I am very touched by her courage and extraordinary strength in facing hardships. She exudes bravery, originality and spirit. I love what she said in the end of the film.. Something along the lines of life being like a game of tennis, where you will always have a ball coming at you, but what matters is how you return the ball back. Ah, I wish I had written it down! You've inspired me Margaret and many others.. and that is surely something that wil live on. :)

Ms. Margaret Moth is beautiful, both inside and out. She's got a strong will and an inspiring story. I hope all women will be like her.

A very brave and inspirational woman . It is easy to admire her but difficult to imitate her . I have learn't not to fear death just by listening to her talking about her cancer

Since I saw the CNN documentary my thoughts often go several hours to the west where you`re now. Surrender? Yes. Resignation? Never. Hope? Involuntarily. Confidence? Always. Margaret, may you get through with some help! I have enormous respect for you!

Dear Margaret, You are an inspiration! The very picture of beauty and courage, all wrapped up in one indomitable package. I send you warm wishes and a big hug.

The CNN documentary was very inspirational.Your last words that Life is like a Tennis Game and that we can not control how the ball comes,but can control how we hit it back... that was so real and legendary.I have only one regret though that you denounced God.Please rethink this stand before the time comes, it will be your final relief and peace. Crossing my fingers for you Superwoman.Much Love.

The women I admire (besides the obvious, of course): J. Goodall, A.S. Suu Kyi, Dorothy Stang, Y. Isinbayeva... and now, Margaret Moth...

Saw the documentary on Sunday night on CNN. It made me cry. She is so beautiful and courageous. Could not stop looking at her eyes-beautiful, plus height and dressing. Was emotional also for me. May you find the dignity and respect you wanted to the end. xxx. Your family must be so proud of you.

hi my name is joab lopez i from mexico, really i saw the film on cnn , and really i have to say to margaret amazing all you did, you were a fearless woman, thats for sure...

What a lady. She is truly inspiration for a lot of people in the world, she is for me. After seeing her on CNN she made me realise that U can do anything. Margaret is my Hero.

Dear Margaret Not sure if you will read this however I will write on in the hope that you do. Very sorry to hear about your illness. Wonderful to view the CNN doco. Your jump from Kens balloon brought back many memories. Remember,I was in the fixed wing trying to film you. You sure have had a fantastic career and you made my time as your boss back in your days in Dunedin interesting. As others here have said, I salute you. Much love, Paul Donovan.

Praying for you sister. Its awesome that you lived your life and have no regrets. From now on, everytime I am about to chicken out of something, hopefully I will think "Margaret Moth" and get up the cojones to live life now - not in some mythical future that I keep waiting for. Sleep well sister.

I heard the interview with her on NPR today and I must say this is someone whom I would consider a hero to be honored as a powerful and wonderful person. I happy to have heard of her, take care.

Margaret Moth have the "just do it" attitude encrypted in her. She is happy with herself, embraced things and events in life with truthfulness. I remembered watching her FEARLESS documentary about her life as a Journalist. The last thing she have said, stay foot in my mind. "It's not a matter of how long you live". And I started to question myself, have I done the things I wanted to do in life yet? Thank you Margaret.

Margaret Moth, you don't need anyone's approval or for us to simplify your life by comparing you to anyone else. There is no one else like you. I respect and admire you, and your words and work have a monumental impact on all of us. With love,

Here is the link to the NPR show done on Margaret and a few others from New Zealand Television. http://www.hereandnow.org/ http://tvnz.co.nz/sunday-news/flashback-nz-camerawoman-recovering-after-being-shot-in-sarajevo-part-1-3049628 http://tvnz.co.nz/sunday-news/flashback-nz-camerawoman-recovering-after-being-shot-in-sarajevo-part-2-3049634 http://tvnz.co.nz/sunday-news/flashback-moth-flame-3049641 http://tvnz.co.nz/sunday-news/flashback-kiwi-camerawoman-in-west-bank-3049646

The documentary just screened in NZ on a current affairs show, Sunday (shortened version I think as not 25 minutes). What an incredible woman and life - thanks Margaret for being couragageous and being yourself. Why don't we kiwis know more about this remarkable woman from our own shores?!

This documentary really touched me. As a fellow New Zealand journalist I admire Margaret so much. What an amazing life, and an even more amazing attitude. Such bravery and focus. Bravo!

You're great. Absolutely GREAT Margaret!

I have just watched Margaret's story on the programme Sunday (NZ), wiping tears from my cheeks. Her courage makes me proud to be a Kiwi, "KIA KAHA" (be strong) Margaret.

I wish I could spend a day with you. I have worked in TVNZ News and Current Affairs as a camerawoman too. People like you and Brian Brake really inspire me, thank you so much for sharing your life, it really does help so much to know there are other NZ'ers out there breaking barriers in our industry. Is there a book in wind?

Margaret, Your story is truly an inspiration to me. By your story, I have been able to reach within myself, and draw out the strength that is inside me, and rise above a sad marriage, and a place of low self esteem and self pity. I am getting stronger each day, and you are truly my inspiration! God bless!

What a beautiful story...?Only that it is true story.May Margret find peace in her last days!!She has been such an inspiration to me.

High Margaret..I have searched high and low for you for years and have never looked in the right place until now! DUUHHH!! Would LOVE to say hi again''''Loved you then ...and love you now....Come on down and we will all get together and have a Hell of a party..I am in the phone book Waiheke Island Auckland NZ

From another NZ Journalist, your life is an inspiration, your strength is amazing, Kia Kaha

Your story has truly touched me. You have made me look at my own life. God Bless you

Margaret Moth (nee Wilson) your little brother Don is looking to make contact with you sis

Hope you get to read this Margaret. Simon, your tiger moth pilot here and would love to get in touch. Living in Wanaka now.

Skydiving was your other love. You introduced it to me in Dunedin. I failed. You are an awesome woman and I am priviliged to know you. Rocky Horror Picture Show is in my library, but I cant bring myself to walk barefoot through fresh cowpats. You are forever in my thoughts

I SAW THE COMMENT ABOUT HER ON CNN.INDDEED SHE HAS PROVED THAT YOU MUST DIE FOR WHAT YOUR BELIEVE IN.

Margaret Moth, rest in peace. Your fearless approach to work and life is an inspiration to women and men alike.

I am in awe of Margaret Moth. I'd never known of her until I went online, routinely and CNN is my home page. I was struck by her picture, her fascinating eyes. I tuned in to the video and saw part of the documentary and now I can't get enough of her. I wish I could have spent one minute with her. Her words will always be with me.What a heroic woman. And fun.

DEAR MARGARET, SORRY TO SEE YOU GO! YOUR LIFE IS AN INSPIRATION TO MANY OF US...YOU ARE RIGHT! LIFE IS LIKE PLAYING TENNIS: YOU CAN'T CONTROL HOW THE BALL IS COMING AT YOU, BUT YOU CAN CONTROL HOW TO HIT BACK! GO BLESS YOU. SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE!

RIP...what a beautiful life.

At long last, I've found a real Wonder Woman on whom I can set my sails. There really is nothing to be afraid of, is there, as long as we can take the plunge. Thank you for the lesson, Margaret. RIP.
