Surfing legend Tom Carroll helps Sam Bloom surf again
With the help of a specially designed board and childhood friend, surfing legend Tom Carroll, Sam Bloom gets back in the water following her tragic accident.
Somewhere, flying around the northern beaches of Sydney, is a magpie called Penguin who often thinks she’s a human. And if that’s not incredible enough, this amazing bird has another claim to fame – she’s a lifesaver. Penguin taught Sam Bloom, a mother of three, how to live again after she fell from a balcony, broke her back and became a paraplegic. It’s a truly inspiring tale that not surprisingly will also soon be a Hollywood movie.
