Join Gemma's Community
In June 2021, Gemma sustained a life-changing spinal injury at an equestrian event, resulting in tetraplegia. Following major spinal surgery at James Cook University Hospital, Gemma embarked on a challenging and unimaginable journey. While spending months in intensive care, Gemma fought fiercely for her life.
As of September 2024, Gemma has transitioned from residential care back to her home. Her needs are complex, requiring 24-hour care, physical therapy, and specialised equipment to help her in her recovery and everyday life. The Gemma Potts Community aims to raise crucial funds to aid Gemma in her journey towards healing and living a fulfilling life.
Gemma and her family are deeply grateful for the kindness and support they have received. Despite the difficulties, Gemma’s journey is a testament to the power of resilience and hope in overcoming adversity. Her story is a reminder that with determination and support, anything is possible.

GEMMA'S GO FUND ME
The goal of the Gemma Potts Community is to fund ongoing physical therapy and any specialist equipment Gemma may need. The financial burden to provide a decent quality of life and a sense of hope for individuals in Gemma’s position is substantial. The cost of one week at STEPS Rehabilitation Centre is £10,500, with a recommended stay of 12 weeks. As such, the Gemma Potts Community is committed to sourcing the necessary funds to facilitate Gemma’s recovery journey. Your contribution will make a significant difference in Gemma’s life and all support is greatly appreciated.
