WENONA students learned a valuable lesson in overcoming adversity from Australian Paralympic swimmer Karni Liddell.
The bronze medallist shared the story of her triumph over spinal muscular atrophy with students.
“I was born missing a few little muscles and my parents were told I wouldn’t walk or crawl,” she told the girls. Refusing to accept defeat, her father created a walking frame for Karni and she learned to walk.
With her competitive spirit, she honed her strengths in swimming to compete at the Paralympic Games in 1996 and 2000, where she won bronze medals.
