About this episode
Father of three, Andy Wright, stepped away from tennis for six years after being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
A chance meeting with Tristan Hessing led to a community tennis project. Now, Andy is back playing.
We talk friendship, kindness, and how playing sport can have unexpected consequences.
