Witness their inspiring stories of resilience, dedication, and triumph as they gear up for the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games. In this episode, we dive into the inspiring journey of Amy Truesdale, a Para taekwondo athlete from Great Britain. With her sights set on becoming a Paralympic champion at Paris 2024, Amy shares her story of overcoming societal limitations and embracing her capabilities.
