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. Support his mission of making his first GB Paralympic team here: https://www.instagram.com/liammcgarry8?igsh=ZXVpbHlmeWMzMzMw
