Amanda Nickson – A Broken Neck and the Power of Faith
The BRAVE podcast series is a Townsville Community Information Centre initiative that aims to share the inspiring stories of ordinary people from our local community.
While on a bushwalk eleven years ago, social worker Amanda Nickson slipped and broke her neck—but didn’t know it at the time. She hiked for several more days with an unstable fracture before learning about the severity of the injury. In this episode, Amanda shares the story of that week, the arduous recovery, her mental health challenges, and above all else the faith that has kept her going.
The BRAVE Podcast is jointly funded by the Commonwealth and Queensland Governments under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA).
This project is produced by Damien Lawardorn.
