A bit of belated news—John is home! 🏠 🎉
On 19th December 2024, exactly 1 year and 1 week after his brain injury, John left hospital and returned home to live with Mum and Dad. John was given a guard of honour on his way out by all the amazing hospital staff of the NHNN in Queen Square. An emotional day!
And the timing meant John was home in time for a very special family Christmas 2024. 🎄
======
Looking ahead to 2025 ➡️
John has continued to make huge strides in his recovery, but right now, he still needs a lot of support:
John is currently unable to work, or live independently
Aphasia means John has trouble understanding, speaking, reading and writing
Nerve damage to his right side has significantly reduced mobility in John's right hand, arm and leg
For 2025, we're focused on supporting John's continued recovery routine. This includes keeping as many of those therapy sessions going as possible, and making sure John has everything he might need to help him achieve his long term goal to live independently again.

Finally, a huge thank you on behalf of all the family for every donation for John—we've been bowled over by your generosity. ❤️
Some examples of what your kind donation will go towards:
£160 covers the cost for two private speech and language therapy sessions for John, to help with his Aphasia
£90 covers the cost for an all day session at Headway (the brain injury association) in Cambridge, which John visits weekly
£35 covers the cost of a 1-hour personal trainer session, focusing on improving mobility in John's right arm and leg
We're planning multiple events this year to support John, as well as charities close to his heart. We'll share more information soon.
A huge thank you again for your support.
Team John ⚡️❤️👊
