Paul is regaining independence after a spinal injury. He has a care package that is focused on providing Paul and his wife, Sarah, with the flexibility and support needed to continue his rehabilitation.
Three years ago, Paul experienced a life-altering accident that resulted in a spinal cord injury at the C4/C5 level. The injury left him paralysed from the neck down, with no movement for the first three months. His journey of recovery began at Stoke Mandeville Hospital, where he started intensive rehabilitation — a process he continues today.
Paul’s wife, Sarah, has also been a vital part of his journey. With the confidence that Paul is in safe hands, she’s been able to balance work, family life, and a major personal challenge — running the London Marathon.
“I’m running for Spinal Research because seeing what Paul has achieved every day inspires me,” says Sarah. “He went from being completely paralysed to walking with a gutter frame. It’s hard to complain about sore legs when I think of what Paul has overcome.”
Thanks to the right care, Paul’s determination, and the unwavering support of his family, progress has been possible. From the early days of total paralysis to standing, walking, and now looking forward to walking to his local pub, Paul’s story is a powerful example of what’s achievable with the right support.
Sarah is raising funds for Spinal Research to help others benefit from continued innovation in spinal injury recovery. You can follow her journey and support the cause here.
