Join Gemma's Community
In June 2021, Gemma sustained a life changing spinal injury at an equestrian event. Gemma’s life would never be the same again. Gemma was taken to James Cook University Hospital where she underwent major spinal surgery. This was the very start of an unimaginable and difficult journey. While spending months in intensive care, Gemma fought with all her strength for her own life.
As of September 2024, Gemma has finally been able to move out of residential care and return home. Gemma’s needs are extremely complex. She requires 24-hour care, physical therapy and specialised equipment as part of her life going forwards and to aid in her recovery journey.
Gemma’s unwavering positivity, spirit and sheer determination has shone brightly during the most devastatingly difficult years of her life. Gemma and her family are extremely grateful for the kindness and support they have received.

GEMMA'S GO FUND ME
The next milestone on Gemma’s Journey is to fund a 12 week physical therapy placement at a specialist residential rehab centre Steps Rehabilitation in Sheffield. This step would cost in the region of £114,000.
The results of the 12 week physical therapy will dictate the next steps for Gemma’s Journey.
