After my injury, I want to test my abilities, see what I can achieve, and see how far I can take my fear-level before I say “Ok, I need to stop and calm down.” Being at Headway helps me open up a little bit more, helps me be part of different activities, and test the waters. And that helps me become more confident in myself and say: yes, I can take on challenges – knowing the difficulties I have – and overcome them.The other day at Headway I went rock climbing.
When I told my family I was going, they were quite hesitant: “You walk with a crutch, how the hell are you going to get up there?” Yes, it was a challenge, but I accepted that challenge for myself.
Many thanks to Sophie and The Castle Climbing Centre for a brilliant day!
