The New Normal Multi Story

    • Personal Journals

Three stories of people adapting to new and changing situations.
Including Ewan, who lost his hearing following a surfing accident and channelled his energy into his passion for tennis; playing the game at the top level, representing Team GB in deaf tennis. Until another change in his hearing forced him to step away.
And Emilie, who was volunteering for a children's charity in Uganda when she met five day old Adam - and formed an emotional bond she couldn't shake.
Plus 19-year-old Wiki reflects on her changing relationship with food and her recovery from anorexia.
Presented and produced by Becca Bryers, with additional production from Shivani Dave.
With thanks to Sue Kinnear from BBC Radio Wiltshire, Toni McDonald from BBC Hereford and Worcester, and Jo Loosemore from BBC Radio Devon.
