"Even though I lost my legs, I was euphoric to be alive" Jim Hourigan

"It comes down to two choices, get busy livin or get busy dyin" Andy Dufresne, "The Shawshank Redemption" In this episode, we meet Jim Hourigan, a 54-year-old accountant and tax advisor living in London. Originally from Glasnevin Jim shares his incredible journey of resilience and reinvention following a life-changing car accident that resulted in the loss of both legs. Once a regular at the gym Jim turned his energy toward recovery and discovered a new passion: golf. He speaks candidly about the physical and emotional challenges he faced during rehabilitation and the profound impact of community support on his journey. He reflects on his favourite quote from John Donne—“No man is an island”—and how it encapsulates his belief in the interconnectedness of people. Hosted on Acast.
