The joy of skiing blind

Outlook

Available for over a year

Mike Brace lost his sight after a childhood accident - but he adapted fast and soon discovered the freedom and excitement he craved in the sport of blind skiing. Having represented Great Britain at the first Paralympics - he's since dedicated his life to getting young disabled people into sport. He spoke to Outlook's Jo Fidgen. Andiswa Gebashe is a well-known face on South African screens, appearing next to the President as a sign language interpreter. Her father is deaf, and sign language was her family's primary way of communicating when she was growing up. She spoke to Mpho Lakaje.
