“I’m very pleased to be volunteering with Sporting Memories and it is precisely the kind of thing I had been looking for...It has not been in the slightest bit stressful or difficult from the word go. It has been fun from the start.”

A decision that would change life forever

From Nick Webborn OBE: An emotional and truly inspiring account of one decision made in sport that was to change life forever, for better or worse. A journey from injury, to long-term hospitalisation and rehabilitation – and to being 'part of something bigger than yourself'.
