In March 2015, I suffered a catastrophic, life changing motorcycle accident, in which my left arm became permanently paralysed. To be told that I will never move my arm, hand or fingers ever again, due to a spinal cord injury sustained in the accident was extremely traumatic. I was 26 years old and felt invincible, then in a matter of 5 seconds, my life changed, irreversibly. This is my story of recovery, resilience, perspective and taking responsibility for one's actions. Follow me on my journey, of learning how to live with one paralysed arm, on riding motorcycles again single handed and reaching number 1 in the UK in T46 Long and High Jump - with the ultimate aim to reach 2020 Tokyo Paralympics.
