Lee is the chairman of his club Silhillians RUFC, an RFU Injured Players Foundation Trustee, he has years of experience as a Project Manager in the building trade and is a father of twins. In 2020 he was awarded the BBC Sports Personality ‘Unsung Hero’ of the Year for the Midlands.
In 2016, aged just 34, Lee sustained a catastrophic spinal cord injury whilst playing rugby for Silhillians. Lee is now tetraplegic, meaning he has the inability to voluntarily move the upper and lower parts of his body. Yet this has not held Lee back. In this episode Lees shares more about what happened on the day he sustained the injury, he talks about his ongoing recovery, the passion he still has for Rugby, and the importance of using talking therapies.
His story is quite incredible – he died 3 times in recovery! He also is now the happiest he has ever been in his life!
