In Touch

Available for over a year

Paralympic ski-racer Jade Etherington made history at the 2014 Winter Paralympic Games, by winning a medal in each of her four ski events. She holds the record for the highest number of medals in a single Paralympic Games making her the most successful winter paralympian the UK has ever produced. Jade talks about her recent decision to retire from the sport, partly due to the debt she has accrued and the lack of funding. Jade is now focused on her teaching career and speaks of some of the challenges she faces as a visually-impaired teacher. Tony Shearman finds himself back on the dating scene and presents a personal column about his experience thus far.
