I am taking on 100k in June to raise money for Day One Trauma Support! 🧡

The pain was constant but the worst part was the depression that followed. Even though both accidents were just accidents, I felt like I had let everyone down.

My family missed holidays and I spent a lot of time on my own. Lucy had to take unpaid time off work to help care for me. I missed friends’ weddings and my colleagues had to cover for me at school.  

Things only really started to change when my NHS physio in Sheffield told me about Day One Trauma. They listened to me and helped me start to rebuild  my confidence.

My injury was small compared to many accidents but has had a huge effect on my life. 

That is why this June, one year after my first surgery, I want to raise money for Day One Trauma to help others who need support with their mental health after accidents.  I aim to run, walk and row 100k in June  

Day One are the only national charity to provide personalised care to anyone affected by any kind of catastrophic injury, their loved ones and their families – for as long it takes.

Your support today will mean the world to someone recovering from the emotional and physical trauma of a major injury.
