This week, Kate and Nicole catch up with Kurt Fearnley. An extraordinary athlete, now retired from sport, he’s a champion for disability rights. They discuss the global Paralympic family’s unique bond, the international mission to save 50 Afghan athletes and their families, the importance of community for people living with disabilities, and the superstition that was the key to Kurt’s sporting success.
