I prefer the person I am today than the person I was just before my accident, hugely, and I think that says a lot. And in addition to that, I'm kind of glad it happened.
Imagine cruising home on your motorbike, only to have your life flipped upside down by a speeding driver. That's exactly what happened to Bobby Griffin. Thrown through the air and suffering severe injuries, Bobby faced a long, grueling battle with his physical and mental health. Surgeons worked tirelessly for two years to save his leg, but ultimately, Bobby made the brave decision to have it amputated. This choice marked a turning point, helping him combat depression and suicidal thoughts.
With the unwavering support of his prosthetists and physiotherapists, Bobby meticulously planned his recovery. Within weeks of the operation, he was back on the badminton court, a sport he loves deeply. Now, as a Para-Badminton coach for Team GB, Bobby's journey is a testament to resilience and the human spirit. Tune in to hear how he turned tragedy into triumph, and even catch a cameo from his dog, Lola!
