Big announcement 📣 I’ve written a book.
Why It’s Ok To Talk About Trauma
(How to make sense of our past and grow through the pain)
Thank you for your encouragement many of you have said I should write a book. I’ve put my all into this. Pre order:

One of my favourite things is dancing! 3 years ago today was my first day on life support in a coma, I was given no hope of living, docs thought I was brain damaged. I was terrified I’d been told I was dying.This is what I did 3 years on! Never lose hope, ALWAYS keep fighting!

I’m so sad, hurt & pained to say Katie has sadly passed away.
Katie is my friend, was part of my running group that I made my BBC documentary Nowhere to Run: Abused by Our Coach about. Katie died by suicide.

My first big test since I was fatally ill.
This time 3 years ago I was discharged from hospital not able to walk given minimal chance to get to where I am today.
Willpower is one of the most precious things we have.

I’m bursting with ‘chuffedness.’ I feel so different than struggle over last few years. My body finally feels stronger & fitter, most importantly I felt confident, believed again in who I am & what I can do. It’s not just a marathon,it’s mark of my progress physically & mentally.

2 years ago this was me...
I was in a coma on life support.
I had less than 24 hours to live, it was unlikely I’d survive the night. They told my mum I was likely brain damaged. This time last year I was still struggling with my physical health & very much so my mental health.

It’s that time of year.
7 years ago as many of you know I was in a coma on a life support machine. Doctors were desperately fighting to keep me alive with very little hope I would pull through. And if I did, I would need to be dependent and to be cared for round the clock.

My results have improved! I walked out of hospital, just burst out crying, so relieved, a release from so much pent up. I hope I can show people how important is to look after your body - Dr. said only reason why my organs are recovering is because of how healthy I was before.

2 years today in Rio after cycling 3000 miles from London in 5 weeks. How my life has changed! To see this video & to think that my organs were failing, I was haemorrhaging without realising & just 5 days later I’d be on life support in a coma. 1st time I’ve looked at this since.

Soooo after much deliberation I’ve decided to do Ironman 70.3 Marrakech on Oct 27th.
It’ll mark 3 years of coming out of hospital. I was re-learning how to walk again, had problems with my brain & eyes & my kidneys weren’t working amongst a whole host of other stuff.

Shout out to anyone struggling at the moment. Crap going on, depression, PTSD...or anyone who has that annoying critical voice?! Know what I mean? You are not alone. Fresh air and sunshine makes it all a little bit better. Sending positive messages and thoughts. You are worth it.

I saw this angel when I was in a coma 4 years ago. She was courageous, had incredible strength but with such conviction & calm in my distress.
I recreated it as a tattoo to remind myself what I’ve come through.
Remember how far you’ve come. There’s so much strength in that 💫

Here she is...
Obviously very red!
She is my protective & powerful angel that represents everything I fought through & survived. She is there to remind me everyday of what I’ve survived & to keep on fighting.
I’ve been planning this for 2 years now since I came out of hospital...

70.3 Marrakech in 10 days! It’ll be 3 years out of hospital. Docs were like ‘no chance’ I was like ‘yes chance😊☺️’ Swimming today. Not a fan of pool swimming but breaking into sets helps. Try 4x50m hard, 4x75m hard before rest of your lengths.

6 years today.
Still can’t get my head around what happened.
Completed 3000 miles cycling 🚴♀️ London to Rio for charity.
About to present Olympics coverage.
24 hours after these pics in A&E.
64 hours later coma, life support, multiple organ failure, unlikely to survive the night.

Hello
@thetimes
it’s really important that you report stories like this correctly, otherwise it enables abuse and keeps victims quiet. The girl is a CHILD and he is a 59 year old man. It’s called child abuse not a relationship. It is against the law.

To those out there with a mental health problem, you’re a survivor & still surviving,I am with you!
I was diagnosed with depression at 16 & have PTSD. I was abused in my teens & less than 3 yrs ago I fought back from multiple organ failure & life support. I am far from weak 👊💪
People need to be coached into how to be mentally stronger, just as we coach everything else in life. Far too many celebrities whining about their very privileged lives to get good press, jobs & £££. They’re just encouraging people to be weak & self-pitying.
