#66: Jill Wheatley on Losing Sight yet Gaining Vision

Informações:

Synopsis

Born in Canada, Jill was working as a Physical Education teacher in Bavaria in September 2014 when she was hit in the head with a ball in a freak accident.Taken to emergency and quickly discharged with only a “black eye”, Jill was later diagnosed with a fractured skull and a traumatic brain injury (amongst other injuries).2 years, 7 hospitals and 3 countries later, Jill’s black eye never re-opened and she was left with a traumatic brain injury and just 30% of her vision.But that was not going to stop Jill from returning to her beloved mountains.She originally set a goal to circumnavigate the world in a year on a quest to run illustrious mountain ranges with her “differently abled” body. We recorded this conversation in 2018 and she's still climbing mountains and conquering heights!
