From a broken back to a black belt: Lisa's story
A primary school teacher from Sonning Common has proved it鈥檚 never too late to follow your dream, whatever the odds.
Six years ago, when she was 40, Lisa Baillie took up Chinese kickboxing. In 2020 a car accident left her with a fractured back, so it鈥檚 been a real labour of love and determination to earn her black belt.
大象传媒 Radio Berkshire鈥檚 Sarah Walker speaks to Lisa about her emotional journey and the joy it's brought her.
