Tanni Grey-Thompson – “My wheelchair gave me my life”

NEW SERIES: Award-winning Radio 4 broadcaster and Daily Mail columnist Jenni Murray discovers life lessons from living legends.  Paralympian Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson has 11 golds, four silvers and one bronze medal to her name. She’s won the London Wheelchair Marathon six times, has held more than 30 world records, and now sits in the House of Lords advocating for people with disabilities. Tanni talks to Jenni about how her parents had to fight for her to go to a ‘normal’ school; how getting a wheelchair changed her life; what it feels like to lose; and how she has had to learn to ignore the opinions of others, especially when she fell pregnant with her daughter Carys.  Tune in for a powerful conversation about determination, dignity, and the strength it takes to define your own path. • Presented to you by Saga Boutique River Cruises.
