From Paralympic Golds To The House Of Lords with Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson

“In the whole of my career, I lost more races than I won. I think people like to look at the medals, but don’t necessarily look at the other side of it.” 40 Minute Mentor is officially back for Series 8! We’re kicking off this new series with the amazing Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson, Britain’s greatest Paralympic athlete, who has won 11 Gold medals and broke 30 world records throughout her career.
