🤔Forget GOLD medals - the extra obstacles, physical, emotional, financial etc. that these amazing athletes have to negotiate ON TOP OF the dedication, training & sheer force of will required to even be at the Olympics 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾 - this is one occasion where even being there is the ultimate achievement - thank you SPINOFF for all the great coverage.
🙋🏽♀️I had the great good fortune to have a major leg break which kept me in a wheelchair, on crutches, severely inconvenienced for several months, because it soon became apparent to me how lucky I was to know that this was temporary & after a period of physio etc. there would be "normalcy". I have never lost that memory, especially now when seeing all the egregious policy decisions by this coalition govt which will make the lives of people with any kind of disability that bit harder - unnecessarily and cruelly.🤬 So proud of our athletes for showing the able-bodied amongst us what is possible given adequate support - now let's continue to fight to expand that to the non-athletic eh? 🤷🏾♀️
