Tanya Turner

Tanya is " a left leg amputee, who lost my leg to cancer almost 5 years ago. I'm also a dancer, singer and trainee pole dancer/aerialist, who has performed with integrated dance group Croi Glan since 2020."  This is the message that I receive when she booked the time to record the podcast. She followed it with "I've been a leg amputee since Oct. 2017, so nearly 6 years rather than 5... time flies when you're having fun, or something.", which gives you an idea of her attitude toward her ordeal following the leg amputation. It is a wonderful conversation about family, music, rural Ireland, travelling and, of course, what is like to be an amputee. Please subscribe, share and review. It's much appreciated. The title tune is "Happy &amp; Shining" by the Round.About.Us
