Andy Long: I Get to Choose My Suffering, MND Patients Don’t

from Headstrong

The Power of Perspective. Former England rugby hooker Andy Long has faced the highest pressures in sport and the deepest personal trials. In this unfiltered Take 10 episode, Andy discusses his upcoming 270km Marathon Des Sables and why he’s choosing to suffer in the Sahara to support those with Motor Neurone Disease. From finding his father at age ten to the "shame" of being dropped by his country, Andy explores why true strength is about being in tune with yourself, not being bulletproof.
