Listen to Marina's audio clip:

Marina: “I love the strength that Marga draws from gentleness and gratitude. That’s another way perseverance can look.”

Marga:

“I’m cycling and driving again, but at first I couldn’t even pour myself a glass of wine. My husband would say, ‘I’ll do it,’ but I didn’t want him to. I kept trying, because that’s how you get the farthest.”

“I went through a lot before I lost my eye. It might sound a bit vague, but when this happened to my eye, I felt supported. The people I met, the little beautiful things, and how it brought my husband and me closer together—all of that gave me strength.”
