Joanne helps Team GB in their campaign to get bobsleigh into the Paralympics.

Joanne is one of the only people in the world born with no limbs, due to a condition called total amelia. She helps Team GB in their campaign to get bobsleigh into the Paralympics.

Joanne can text faster with her top lip than most people can with their fingers, can eat spaghetti balancing her fork under her chin, and is on first-name terms with her favourite band, One Direction. She is also one of only seven people in the world born with no limbs due to a condition called total amelia. For Joanne, life has its challenges - but so does everyone's - and she's never one to say no. So when the British Olympic bobsleigh team ask her to help them in their campaign to get bobsleigh into the Paralympics, how can she refuse? But when Team GB meet Team O'Riordan they get way more than expected.
