#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.
