On 22 October 2014, Claire was walking with her husband, two daughters and her daughters’ friend, when she was struck by a motorbike. Claire fell backwards, fracturing her skull. When the road ambulance crew arrived, they soon realised they needed the HIOWAA Critical Care Team.
“Had it not been for the Air Ambulance taking me from Basingstoke to the University Hospital Southampton Neurology Department, I would have died due to the pressure and bleed on my brain.”
Fast forward to 22 October 2020, exactly six years to the day of her incident, Claire, 40, will be shaving her hair to show the scars she bears as a result of her injuries and the hours of surgery.
