“The paradox of being paralysed is that everywhere I go, I have to be present”
On this episode of Extraordinary Life Stories I’m talking to Gold medal winning ‪@nike‬ athlete David Smith MBE 🥇🔥
After years of crippling spinal pain David was diagnosed with #cancer and has battled it 4 times since! Each time embarking on a grueling journey of #rehabilitation with unwavering #optimism.
I can only imagine how gruelling this must have been and then In 2016, further surgery left David #paralyzed down his left side 🤦🏼‍♂️😩 this could have been ‘enough is enough’ for so many people. But not David! 💪🏼💥
David’s resilience and character has been constantly tested, and he’s inspiring others to embrace life’s #challenges with strength and #determination 💪🏼🤩
When I was talking with David it was clear he was 💯 present and fully engaged. He’s seeking #opportunity and is #curious in everything he does, measuring his life in experiences and NOT in time 🕰️ 👏🏼
I’m so grateful to David for making time to talk with me 👏🏼🙏🏼
Proudly suppprting @reorgcharity
