"Through unwavering commitment, dedication, and perseverance, I am determined to make my dream a reality after being a spectator at the Closing Ceremony at the 2012 Paralympics.

After that experience, I said to my friend I will be there at the next Paralympics in Rio, they looked at me, didn't believe me but I understood the challenges that lie ahead.

With each step I took, I bring myself closer to achieving my sports career dream of being a Paralympian."

This week's podcast guest is Carly Tait PLY, Former Paralympian and currently a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Professional
