‘I don’t want to be treated any differently, I am the way I am and that’s it.’ ~Joanne O’Riordan.

There are lots of film premieres. Some make headlines because of famous actors and actresses or because of a big budget behind the film. Not as many film premieres make headlines because of the story behind the film. Last Sunday the film ‘No limbs No limits’ had its premiere in Cork Opera House. The film is about the story of Joanne O’Riordan who was born without limbs 17 years ago. The film follows her story down through the years and how her remarkable story has inspired so many across the world.

Joanne’s goal in life is simple, she has no limits! The film includes many significant moments in her life, where she has used obstacles and challenges as stepping stones. Her enthusiasm, bubbly personality and endless energy have endeared her to so many, including her hometown of Millstreet and indeed right across the world! Her speech to the United Nations is one example of how her life has inspired so many. She has embraced technology to be a friend and it’s a key that has opened many doors in her life. The film is a wonderful good news story. Joanne is an ambassador for good news, optimism and hope. In a world that craves for hope and inspiration, Joanne has led the way and continues to lead. Her positive, upbeat attitude reflects a heart free of gratitude.
