An Auckland woman who has been using a wheelchair after a serious car accident 8 year ago has had the best early Christmas present both her and her family could ask for - the gift of walking.

A qualified personal trainer, Chloe Hogan has taken her first unassisted steps since the crash. They're her first steps since her family was told she'd never fully recover and would never walk again.

Chloe and her dad Brian joined Simon and Phil to talk about her recovery, and share their story to inspire others going through similar situations.
