Sometimes the worst things that ever happen to you can turn out to be the best... When you’re in the dark days it is hard to envision it ever being possible but as I stand here 10 years on from my accident, the journey of change and self-discovery that the car crash caused has lead me to somehow, despite being in ongoing pain, be almost grateful for what happened to me.
Now as an award-winning motivational speaker being able to share the lessons through my rollercoaster of recovery and give my energy to others, including 20,000+ school children, helps me get up and overcome my obstacles of simply starting the day. If you’re going through a rough patch in life, please remember that you are not alone and with small steps everyday, goal setting and an overcome mindset you can make it out the other side! And you will likely become a better version of yourself from the fight you had to find 💪
10 years ago today I was hit by a red-light-jumping-car while cycling home from work, I was not an active motorcycle rider at the time but since then my world has opened to a whole new realm of possibilities.... including 7 surgeries and 2 reconstructed body parts but let’s just focus on motorsports! 😎
Life was slammed in my face, but I found other doors to open, and you can too! 10 years ago if you told me I was going to race all the way to Dakar and finish the Africa Eco Race I would have choked on my drink! I didn’t even know how to ride a motorbike offroad!
Don’t let society limit your imagination!
