    What's Happening With Emma - Season One Final Episode

    Welcome back to the final episode of season 1 of What’s Happening with Emma. I’m your host, Emma Ward, and today I’m joined by Jack Kavanagh.    Jack Kavanagh is a formidable disability rights campaigner and a champion for pushing past barriers society puts in front of people with disabilities. In 2012, Jack’s life changed forever when he sustained a spinal cord injury, leaving him with just 15% muscle function. Rather than letting this define his limits, Jack has since redefined what’s possible, proving that resilience, ambition, and courage can push boundaries beyond expectation.  If you enjoyed this episode and would like to show your support, please consider subscribing, liking and sharing the episode.  As this is the final episode of season one, I would like to thank each person who tuned in every time I released an episode and who took the time to comment and reach out after listening to all the episodes. I couldn't be more grateful!  I will be back with season two in a few weeks, but in the meantime, please listen to all episodes and let me know what you want to see in the newest season!  For all relevant information and updates, follow emmawardjournalist on Instagram!  Chat to you all soon!
