More Than Just a Race | How Sport Can Support Rehabilitation

The Strength of Spirit Games is much more than a race. In this video, we follow Mark, Sean, and Su as they take on an adapted triathlon consisting of a 2k static row, 400m swim, and 10km bike.
We hear their incredible stories of resilience whilst overcoming major health challenges, and explore how sport plays a vital role in the rehabilitation and recovery process.
