It was a split second that changed her life forever. Lauren Doherty was just 20 years old when she stepped in front of a van which resulted in her being catapulted 30 metres through the air and left her paralysed from the neck down, wheelchair-bound and relying on breathing apparatus. Now 36, Lauren has turned her tragedy into a force for good. She and her friend Rebecca join us to discuss their charity - Road Safety Talks - which sees them give hard-hitting talks to school children across the country.

Remember my own son going on this morning when he became a spinal injury one machines ect many years ago and was not meant to survive and he was only 9 years old, he is now 35 years old and still fights for care in this country !!

Well it's 100 times better than America! Here we have to go to charities and just go into massive debt and that's for lifesaving measures. So glad to hear about your son! What a fighting spirit!

Poor lady. She’s very mentally strong to not give up after such traumatic injuries. 💪

@user-gf1xg5zd9l 27 дней назад

I have had a spinal cord injury too. People often say ‘oh I’d just give up in your position’. But what give up mean? You can just stop doing anything and whither away. Often you won’t get funding for caters 24/7 and unless you have family close by, you will have to do things for yourself . Sure it’s hard to get out of bed in the morning sometimes and lots of days are not productive m, but you have to sometimes change your goals in life and take the small wins. 7:28

What independent life for cries sake, the woman is totally paralyzed and needs a caregiver 24/7 every second of the day for even the simplest of things - going to toilet, eating, drinking, taking a bath...she's more helpless than a newborn baby.

@happyhorse1028 25 дней назад

@Zee-ob1pe 25 дней назад

Yes, so when they said she is independent and has her own home, my first thought was she must have a full time caregiver. They should stop misleading others about the extent of her disability.

@jeanakatherine9369 22 дня назад

U know they just mean living away from home…We know she needs full time caregivers, but she jst didn’t wanna be dependent on her immediate family, that’s how I understand it…

@valiasa-di6hr, your comment comes across as meanspirited. By the way, she is NOT "totally paralysed". She can move her head, eyes, mouth, and so on. She can talk and communicate her thoughts. By talking to people, especially to children, she is working as a teacher. She is a fully productive member of her community

That’s such a negative outlook. Caregivers are the gateway to having a sense of independency. They take you out on outings, they allow you to live in your own home rather than at a facility. She owns her own home that right there is being independent.

Is it just me but what is she doing on the tele?? She by her own admission walked out onto the road whilst under the influence! This is the best example of Karma you'll get. Feel for the driver who may have been mentally traumatized by the incident. Typical TV nowadays if they can get anyone in a wheelchair on a programme or in an advert they'll try their best!
