Imagine being a young child and facing a life-altering injury. Our guest today, Leanne, faced such a challenge when she was just four years old. In June 1986, an event occurred that would change her life forever.
Leanne lost her arm, but her parents didn't treat her any differently. They encouraged her to adapt and keep going, which built a relentless determination in her.
In her book, "Red Stitches," Leanne shares her journey from those tough early days. She talks about her childhood and how she learned to find her way in the world.
One of the most amazing parts of her story is how she discovered softball. Even though neither of her parents were athletes, Leanne had a natural talent for the sport. The red stitches on the softball became a symbol of her resilience, helping her hold everything together. Today, we’re going to dive deep into her story.
