Episode description

“The first dance I ever attended in a wheelchair was entirely against my will. I had been very fond of ballroom dancing, and I thought it would be sad for me, and embarrassing for the girls I used to dance with if I were to appear, like a skeleton at a feast...” This is the poignant story not just of Jack's survival, but of the way his life was transformed by friendship, love and sport.
