Ep 4: Kylie Grimes, MBE, talks wheelchair rugby, more women in sport and mixed team sports.

In this episode, Ashley talks to Kylie Grimes, MBE. She had a dream of representing #TeamGB in the Olympics but she suffered a spinal cord injury diving into a swimming pool. Fast forward to 13 years later, her dream of becoming a Paralympic Champion finally came true. She also became the first female in the history of the sport to win gold. She is passionate about more women in wheelchair rugby. Additionally, Kylie talks being appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE), and playing in an all female rugby team as well as in a mixed team. I hope you enjoy this episode.
