#22 - Oscar Dennis - Olympics to Paralympics, 'Hit-and-Run Changed My Life!'

In this episode of Abnormal, I interview Oscar Dennis, a remarkable athlete who overcame a life-altering bike accident to pursue his dreams in sports. Oscar shares his journey from being a rugby player for the Kenyan national Sevens team to surviving a horrific hit-and-run accident that nearly cost him his life.

Oscar's story is one of resilience, gratitude and inspiration. As he prepares for the Los Angeles Paralympics in 2028, he reminds us that every day is a blessing, and that life can change at any moment.
