Gutsy Voices

Episode 2 - Maggie

Maggie Hennessy Season 1 Episode 2

This week's guest is Maggie Hennessy, who has recently completed a trek along The Great Wall of China in support of Princess Alice Hospice.

Maggie's story starts long before her trek in China though. She originally came to the UK as an economic migrant at the age of 17. Maggie has faced adversity in her life including working her way out of poverty as well as managing healthcare for her son as an infant and her partner as he faced brain cancer. And in this week's episode, you'll hear how Maggie faced these situations and used her experiences to spur her on to do some pretty gutsy adventures.

This week's episode's songs:
One More Step Along the World I Go
Chaka Khan's I'm Every Woman

This week's episode was hosted by Mary Bourne and Karen Barrett and produced by Will Bourne.
