Sacha was on a school trip when the unthinkable happened. While the seven-year-old was playing in Richmond Park, he heard a loud crack overhead. He tried to run, but tripped over a rock. The falling tree branch, weighing over 300kg, crushed him. His parents Jo and Igor tell his story:

10 stories to inspire hope

Jo and Igor shared their story in our patient booklet, 'Difficult roads can take you on a beautiful journey.' The booklet narrates the individual and inspirational recovery journeys of 10 of our ex-patients and their families.

We hope the booklet can can be a source of strength for others and offer useful strategies to cope with the journey ahead for those who have recently experienced serious injury.
