On Sunday, Canberra's Lily Mackett will be facing her biggest physical challenge since she was hit by a speeding car in Dubai eight years ago.
Just 16 at the time and in Dubai with her family for her father's work, she was crossing the road when she was hit by the car travelling at 140kmh. She suffered multiple injuries including a severed spinal cord and traumatic brain injury and was in a coma for almost a month.
