Show Notes
In 2011, Ian Winson went to his job as an engineer for Watercare in Onehunga in Auckland.
An explosion occurred which killed one of Ians Collegaes. Ian survived the blast but was seriously injured. The accident cost him both his legs, caused severe injuries to his arms, and left him close to death.
Before the explosion Ian's life had revolved around work, sport and family. In one day he went from being an Ironman competitor to an amputee requiring months of rehabilitation just to reach a stage of basic mobility.
Ian story is an incredible one. It’s a story of bravery, determination, and hope.
