Joining Mario for this week`s profile interview was disability campaigner and sports journalist Joanne O`Riordain.  Joanne  is one of seven currently living people born with the condition Tetra-amelia syndrome which means she was born without any limbs.
Despite her disability Joanne defies the odds and takes on life with gusto and humour.  She tells Mario about life growing up was no different in her family and how that probably allowed her to approach life in such with a positive outlook.
She has addressed the United Nations at just sixteen years of age!
Looking back on it now I wish I took it more seriously, when I was talking to everyone I wasn't making contacts , networking but I was 16!
Joanne went on to pick some amazing comedy from Stuart Lee and inspire us all with a speech about golf balls!
