Paralympic Legend to Media Trailblazer - Lorna Jane Chats with Ellie Cole

Ellie Cole is a 17-time Paralympic medalist whose relentless spirit has redefined what it means to chase greatness. After losing her leg to cancer at age 3, Ellie rose to become one of Australia’s most decorated swimmers, competing in four Paralympic Games. Now transitioning into media and mentorship, Ellie shares raw insights on overcoming adversity, defying limits, and empowering others to ask, “Why can’t it be me?” Her journey from the pool to new horizons is a masterclass in resilience and reinvention. This series is about celebrating stories of growth and giving back, and to honour each guest's time Lorna Jane is donating $5000 to a charity close to each guest’s heart. Ellie’s chosen charity is Challenge, a not-for-profit organisation that supports children and families living with cancer.
