Life throws a myriad of challenges our way, but the ability to get through it and face the next day is where we find true resilience.

Four-time Paralympic gold medalist Curtis McGrath, who lost both his legs while on deployment in Afghanistan, told Shane Doherty on 4BC Summer Drive, "There's many different challenges in life and when we face them, we don't actually know how much resilience we need."

"I think if you're able to get up in the morning and lace up your boots and put your best foot forward in the best way you can, you've gone a long way."

"You've actually overcome the first hurdle of the day and perseverance is a great substitute for talent," the former soldier said.
