127: How paraplegic and aspiring Paralympian Felicity Weal manages motherhood

About this episode

Felicity Weal was just 21 years old when she had an accident on the farm that changed her life forever, causing her to become a paraplegic. Paralysed from the waist down, Felicity had to relearn basic life skills, and adjust to her new reality in a wheelchair.

She is such a tenacious young mum with a deep love for her horses, and now, she's revealed her plans to represent Australia at the Paralympics. This is her story.
