This film tells the inspirational story of British Transplant Cyclist Ottilie Quince. In 2006, this talented amateur football player had her life turned on its head when her kidney shut down, ending her sporting career. After a successful kidney transplant from her Mother, Ottilie discovered cycling, and found a new and exciting focus which allowed her natural talent to shine. She went on to win the British Transplant Games in 2010 and, a year later, a gold medal for Team GB at the World Transplant Games.
In this film, Ottilie takes us on her favourite ride across her home in the island of Mallorca, and talks about her inspirational journey. We meet Ottilie’s parents, and her Team GB coach who all reveal her superhuman determination that has brought her 11 World, 6 European, and 18 British transplant cycling titles.
