When you’re 20 years old, can you remember what life was like? Maybe you're 20 now. Mostly it's dominated by work, well-lubricated social events and exploring the world.

This was definitely the case for Samantha Longmore from Binalong in southern New South Wales – until one night – something you could never imagine happened and for her, this carefree world was gone forever. One night, after working being called up to work a night shift at a nightclub in Canberra – Sammy had a car crash on the way home and then the ambulance she was travelling to the hospital in, also crashed and the injuries she sustained when she went flying through the front windscreen left her a hemiplegic and in a wheelchair for life.

I’ve told Sammy’s story a few times now – and you can probably hear that my voice still shakes a bit when I explain - it’s just so frightfully tragic. In her typically frank way, we speak about all things in this interview, about navigating doctors and the health system as a 20 year old, finding a boyfriend while in a wheelchair, what she loves about living the farm life and the development of her own baby, woollen knitwear business OhhBullDust.Tell your friends about Sammy – she is truly one of a kind – with a whole lot more life left to give.
