Tanita Garnett is 22 years old and has already beaten cancer twice. She picked up a rugby ball at 14, and by 16, she’d made the Tasman Mako training squad.

Now recovering from a tough ACL injury, Tanita opens up about the physical and mental challenges of rehab - and what keeps her going.

She’s also a qualified joiner, choosing a trade to support herself while chasing her rugby dreams.

Tanita is a remarkable young woman. Her story - and the way she talks about her “why” - is nothing short of inspiring.
