Kath Koschel had just achieved her dream of playing cricket professionally, when a terrible on-pitch injury meant she lost the use of her legs.
That was the beginning of a series of events that you truly have to hear to believe. But this isn't a story about tragedy. It about resilience, vulnerability and ultimately, kindness.
This is Kath Koschel's extraordinary story.
THE END BITS:
With thanks to Kath Koschel. Buy her book Kindness: What surviving on the kindness of strangers taught me about perspective, connection and happiness.
