Lauren sits down with British para-powerlifting record holder Liam McGarry to talk about how they both became disabled and how they used the pain of the trauma to create purpose in their lives. Liam, a former rugby player, became disabled at 20 years old after a spinal injury, and has gone on to become a British powerlifting record holder, lifting an astonishing 230kg; the heaviest lift by any British para-powerlifter in history. Liam is currently training towards his first Paralympic Games in Paris this summer.
