About Mark Berridge

Imagine flying through the air, crunching into the earth and then gasping for breath. Suffering an agonizing wait for the ambulance, trying to remain calm. Desperately hoping that the damage is not as severe as it feels. Hearing the words spinal cord injury. Being told you may never walk again. Feeling your identity shatter inside you.

Mark Berridge navigated these impossible moments, after a cycling accident launched him onto a recovery path littered with uncertainty and fear. It upended the life the father of three had known. It set him on a journey of determined self-discovery.

His uplifting message is drawn from lived experience, shaped in a way that helps readers and listeners become a fraction stronger too.
