Episode Synopsis

I would love to hear from you, just send me text and let me know what you think of the podcast.This week I am talking about three amazing female athletes who are delivering a message of kindness everyday through the Kindness Wins Foundation. They are also amazing examples of championship drive and overcoming adversity. Oksana Masters was born with radiation induced birth defects that ultimately led her to having both her legs amputated above the knee and her hands operated on to make them more functional. After being abandoned by her parents in the Ukraine she spent 7 years in an orphanage before being adopted and moving to Kentucky. She took up competitive rowing and set a world record and went to the paralympics. But after conquering rowing she decided to take up cross country skiing. She won a medal at the winter Paralympics in that event. Then she took up arm cycling and won a gold medal in the 2020 games. When she is not dominating in endurance sports she is handing out medals of kindness and she is the subject of today’s short. Visit my website: saxinthemorning.com for merchandise and other links. Follow us on social media: Instagram: @saxinthemorning_podcastRemember, Sax in the Morning swag is now available on my Instagram site.
