Show notes

The Commonwealth Games are underway in Glasgow, one of those rare tournaments celebrating para-athletes in tandem with other competitors. For tetraplegic rugby player Dr Amanda Lowry breaking her neck hasn't stopped her from competing. She's on court on Saturday in fact, at a national Wheelchair Rugby League competition in Porirua. Amanda's is an incredible story - and one she's using to advocate for others. Her PhD thesis A body that needs a body is an unflinching look at highly impaired para-athletes and the critical role carers play - and the recognition they deserve. Amanda has presented at the International Paralympics Committee, and wants para-athletes to shine in an able bodied arena.
