About this listen
Paralympian Ellie Simmonds is starting a life away from the Midlands but still lives close enough to the motorway to be able to get to the place she will always call home: “To be that poster girl for the Midlands... It makes me so proud because I love the Midlands. I love going back home. I love being able to talk about the Brummie accent and all those amazing things that Birmingham has to offer.”
Midlands Hero: Dave Heeley aka “Blind Dave” - a phenomenal charity fund raiser from Birmingham. Ellie met him at a sports award ceremony - “I remember just being in awe of him…”
Commissioned by Coventry City of Culture 2021 and proudly produced by Loftus Media.
Music by Maia Miller-Lewis.
