Please don’t call Sophia Malthus inspirational. You may not realise, but it can seem like a back-handed compliment.
The Aucklander was 19 when she was thrown from a racehorse, landing on a fence. She was paralysed from the neck down, impairing 87% of her body. Now studying law, Sophia uses her spare time to create content for social media on Instagram and TikTok (@itssophandindy), which has led to the production of the new series This Is Wheel Life.
