Episode 57 - Lauren McDonough | Taking the world on as a Bi-Lateral Amputee
from The Betar Project · host Nick Betar
This is episode 57 of The Betar Project with special guest Lauren McDonough. Lauren was born with a full functioning body until May 2017 at the age of just 19 she felt like no one cared or could help with her mental health and that the only way out was to end it all. That day she was hit by a train loosing one leg completely at the scene and a fractured spine. Amazingly enough she survived without any brain damage but now the real battle was to begin, a month later her other leg died off which had to then be amputated leaving Lauren a bi-lateral amputee. She has had a lot of complications with prosthetic legs and the overall mental strain of coming to terms with it all. One thing Lauren said which is amazing is that she believed she had survived for a reason and it was her time to try turn her life around and prove people wrong. Lauren is honestly such a inspiration to me and I'm sure others, every day she has to work so much harder for the things majority of us take for granted. So grateful for her coming on and sharing her story and I cant wait for you all to listen.
