Episode 031 - Jimmy Johnstone

I first became aware of Dooa a few years ago when a friend of mine asked me to wave the flag and start the Plymouth 10K. I stood on the bleachers, the start horn sounded, I waved the flag and then proceeded to watch a sea of runners sync their watches and sip their water as they sprinted off to take part in the race. Towards the tail end of that wave was Dooa, the only wheelchair athlete who had entered the race. I watched her push across the start line, clearly in the zone ready and primed to race and then she was gone. I didn’t manage to see her at the end as the place was jammed but often when driving through our home town of Plymouth I’d spot her out and about but never found the right opportunity to say hello. Then out of the blue Dooa sent me a DM about coming on the Podcast and here we are. I think you’re really going to enjoy this one because Dooa has a great story to tell. As she’s telling it try and put yourself in her shoes and imagine some of the adversity that she’s overcome. She truly is a remarkable woman and someone I’m very proud to have had on the show.   Enjoy.....   To support the show and help make this possible please head on over to my Facebook page and sign up to become a supporter by hitting the blue button at the top of the page: https://m.facebook.com/markormrodmotivationalspeaker/ #NoLimits

Liv Chapman is a remarkable young woman with a very bright future. Liv was born with a limb difference and had to face all the usual hurdles a young lady faces growing up but with the extra challenges her differences brought along with them. With a great family and great friends around her she embraced what made her different instead of shying away from it and it looks like that attitude and approach is going to take her to some incredible places and inspire others to do the same.

Dave Watson joined the Army at an early age.

However, halfway through an action packed tour of Afghanistan tragedy struck and Dave's life was changed forever... Website - www.dwmotivation.co.uk Instagram - davewatsonmotivation #NoLimits
