Rarity Life Heard in conversation with Tully Kearney MBE Rarity Life Heard

    • Society & Culture

In this episode we spoke to Tully Kearney MBE, about her life as an athlete whilst managing a progressive neurological movement disorder. They say that to be a successful Olympian you need determination and training, and just listening to Tully speak made it clear that she has both the steely determination and the commitment to train in spades. To use her own words; ‘ It was much easier for me to move in the water than it is on dry land. I was treated as any other kid, I wasn't treated as a disabled kid. I wasn't singled out. I could keep up with kids my own age….so there was kind of just complete freedom.’
