Perseverance & Purpose In The Face Of Devastating Challenges - Meg Fisher
Meg Fisher is a para athlete and a motivational speaker who has overcome extreme challenges in both her personal and professional life. Megs journey began when a devastating accident left her with a severe brain injury and a mobility impairment as well as the loss of her partner Sara. Despite facing immense physical and emotional pain Meg has found a way to persevere and thrive becoming a para champion many times over and a source of inspiration to many.
Megs talks about the impact of disability on mental health and personal relationships, strategies for coping with chronic pain, the importance of finding purpose and meaning in life and her experiences as a para athlete in the US Team and now, the new challenge, gravel cycling.

“It's often not until those adversities that we didn't see coming that we didn't plan for, do we, we actually get the opportunity to realize how strong we are, we often don't want to know how strong we are. It's kind of scary how resilient we are. We all are, and want people to know it's going to be okay. ”
