About this listen
Emily and Reese are 15. They're twins, they both live with Cerebral Palsy and they're both keen sports-girls. Their favourite activities and goals differ, but the reasons they sport are the same.
In the episode we chat to Em, Reese and their mum, Jenny, about:
· Which sports they love and why
· How often they train
· The good stuff they get from being involved in sport
· The unique challenges they come up against when competing with a disability, and…
· What their proudest achievements have been so far (as well as what's to come!)
