Imagine losing your ability to walk when you are 19. You were full of life, fun, and joy and a stupid accident cost you a lifelong injury.
My guest, Amelia Peckham, was seriously injured in a quad bike accident in 2005. She suffered a spinal injury, lost all feeling and movement from her waist down, and was told she would never walk unaided again. During her rehab, she was given hospital crutches and very quickly realised they were not good enough!
It was then her mum Clare sought to find an alternative and the pair realised there wasn't one, so they decided to design, source and launch Cool Crutches. Amelia now works full-time on the business selling Crutches & Walking sticks that are comfortable, silent, practical & safe for long-term use, but that doesn't compromise on style.
When I asked Amelia, what’s your message for our audience, she had 3 words for us, “Go For It”.
Resilience, humour, commitment… an awesome woman, an entrepreneur, a mother… An incredible story. Tune in and be inspired.
