We're back!
Welcome to Season 2 of Enabled - the podcast where we talk about, normalise and celebrate disability and mental health.
We are very excited for you to hear this episode with Mel Harrison, from Sitting Low, Reaching High.
Mel is a disability advocate who was born with severe kyphosis, scoliosis and arachnoid cysts, and has been a wheelchair user from the age of 14. Despite this, she only received an official diagnosis for her disability last year in 2023 - 42 years after she was born! She's a rare one; less than one in one million people in the world have her particular disability.
Mel shares with us her passion for adventure and education, as well as why she doesn't like to describe herself as disabled.
Make sure you check this one out, and check out what Mel is up to on her social media!
