James Cracknell - life still a battle......

A recent article by  James Cracknell for the Daily Mirror. http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/real-life-stories/james-cracknell-on-battling-back-from-horrific-1156454 highlights the ongoing difficulties he has with his brain injury and the effect it has on his family.

Although James acquired his brain injury as an adult, many of the issues he talks about are the same for families affected by childhood acquired brain injury.  He and his family have had to adapt their lives around Jame's brain injury who still suffers with fatigue, seizures and emotional difficulties.

We need people like James Cracknell who are not afraid to talk about brain injury to champion the cause not only for adults but for the many thousands of children and young people who acquire brain injury every year.

I would urge you to read the article
