Ämber Halliday and Sally Callie (previously Newmarch) were members of the Australian 2004 Olympic lightweight double. Despite their world and Olympic best-times in the preliminary rounds, they returned from the Athens Olympics without a medal. What they did come back with however were the skills, the mental and physical strength and the focus and determination to enable both to survive and recover from severe brain injuries. Their stories are remarkable.
