Jonny Huntington: Pushing Boundaries


Listen Later

In this week's episode, Kenton speaks to para-athlete Jonny Huntington about his life-altering stroke, his rehab and the remarkable endurance challenges that he has embarked on.

Aged 28, Jonny experienced a brain bleed and stroke which left him paralysed down one side. After two and a half years of intensive rehab, he was discharged and began to come to terms with his new normal. He has always loved skiing and was determined to continue if his body allowed him to.

Last year, he became the first disabled person to ski solo and unsupported to the South Pole. A journey that took 46 days and required him to navigate crevasses, pull a sled and manage his body in an extreme environment.

Jonny talks in fascinating detail about all of his experiences, so tune in to find out more!
