Starting out in athletics, he then progressed to power-lifting and became the first Irish power-lifter to compete for Ireland for over 50 years at the London Games. Roy's disability spina bifida does not prevent him from being competitive in sport – in fact it is his determination and drive that really makes itself known when he speaks. In this episode, he speaks about how he has used sports to overcome his personal struggles and how his family and friends have been, and continue to be a major influence in his life. His story will inspire you.
