Are your limitations real? | Nikki Bradley | TEDxBallybofey

Adaptive adventurer, motivational and mental health speaker Nikki Bradley asks whether the boundaries we face in life are real, or are just hurdles to overcome. Using examples from her own experience, Nikki challenges us to explore the boundaries we put on our lives and achievements. Nikki Bradley, director of The Motivation Factory, is an adaptive adventurer, motivational and mental health speaker, SideStix ambassador and the founder of ‘Fighting Fit For Ewing’s’. Nikki’s life has not been what you would call, ‘normal’. Diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer (Ewing’s Sarcoma) at sixteen and the receiver of not one, but two right hip replacements by the age of twenty six. Nikki has been on a truly unique journey. In 2013 Nikki set up a fitness based awareness campaign called Fighting Fit For Ewing’s where she regularly participates in physical challenges to highlight the importance of exercise for rehabilitation. Her biggest challenge to date will take place in 2018 where she hopes to become the first woman on crutches to climb four of Ireland’s most iconic mountain peaks in less than 24 hours.
