Survivor inspiration, part 2
Emma Martins, who acquired a brain injury from a virus, has been blogging about her tenacious 10 year journey to recovery and it's been inspiring!
I’ve been working with Emma as her Support Worker for the last three years and have been helping her tell her story in pictures, words and videos, for her 10th year anniversary of thriving.
Here is a snippet of what she has been up to:
“I am definitely stronger than I used to be with more stamina these days. I take part in an activity every day, either something for my brain or physical exercise like running or tap dancing. I aim to run twice a week and have a lovely nearby Lake which takes between ¾ to 1 hour to complete. It’s more of a meditative run for me rather than a race! The endorphins or ‘happy hormones’ released make me feel so much better. Of course it keeps me in shape too, which is always good.”
