Special Olympics GB: Triple Gold Medalist Georgina Maton
•
Georgina Maton is a Triple Gold Medalist at the Special Olympics. She joins us with her mum Barbera to share her journey, riding, training and competing at the Special Olympics. Living with a learning disability has its hard times and Georgina is open enough to share some of those with us, but her tenacity, great sense of humour, dedication and love of horses, proves why she is such an inspiration to so many.
Chris Hull from Special Olympics Great Britain explains what the Special Olympics is all about, the fact that its not just a few competitions, but all year support, training, development and fun in sport for children and adults with learning disabilities.
