"I want to push the boundaries of what my body can do. When you grow up with a disability, the language is all around what you cannot do. Whereas competing in teh Paralympics is defined by what you can (do)." Paralympian runner James Turner is the best in the world. He's hoping to repeat his world beating performances in the T36 category of the 2021 Tokyo Paralympics. James tells us that he’s always been active despite living with cerebral palsy. He took up ballet, Tai Kwon Do and even football as a child but now running is what he excels at. And his able-bodied, athlete twin sister Hayley has always kept him competitive!

Peter Davidson - Architect, Stroke Survivor & now Artist 34:37

34:37

Our guest today suffered a series of strokes in 2010. He has made an incredible recovery and continues to live with the effects as many survivors do. While Peter Davidison's career as an internationally renowned architect has ceased for the moment, he's discovered and forstered other creative pursuits and is now a prolific painter, drawer and a poet. His strokes also seem to have unleashed a love of almost all music genres - but not heavy metal! Peter's speech has been affected by his injuries, so our episode today is a little different as we help him tell his story. And this episode coincides with National Stroke Week Aug 2-8 in Australia where our podcast for and with people living with brain injury is produced. Happy listening!…
