Without the IPF I probably wouldn’t have got to where I am today.

"People make assumptions about you if you're in a wheelchair and think you can't do things. It's quite interesting to challenge that."

"The most important thing has been the personal approach, the IPF became our extended family.”

'I could have got to Uni without the IPF help, but I'm not sure I would have gone to Uni without the IPF help.'

"There wasn’t a single day that the IPF and the club weren’t there for me. It has made me appreciate rugby even more.”

“Life is not the same as it was but a million times better than it could have been."

"In many ways the IPF gave me my life back."

For a catastrophically injured rugby player, remaining a central part of a family that has been there through thick and thin is fundamentally important.
