Story 59 - Talan - paralysed from the chest down but still racing through life.

 Talan was leading a pretty normal life as a PE teacher living in Bath with a plan to eventually become a headmaster. 
 
One day while on his way to play in a rugby match he was knocked off of his motorbike and thrown into the path of an oncoming vehicle. He was run over and dragged along by his head. Goodness knows how he survived, but survive he did and has gone on to achieve some really great things. 

Watch the interview to hear in Talans own words what he went through and what he has accomplished since with sheer grit and determination but also hear how he feels his real accomplishments are the times when he has helped others.  Talan is a gold medallist paralympian and still races motorbikes despite his injuries.
 
This is a must watch video, Talan is a true inspiration and so lovely with it.
