Dr Michael Mc Killop is one of Ireland's most decorated athletes ever with 4 Paralympic gold medals among his impressive haul.
At a young age Michael's parents were informed that he had cerebral palsy and may never walk, he went on to run for Ireland on the global stage. This is a story that encapsulates one of life's great lessons - Be careful who you take advice from.
