Our story

It all started with one step

In 2016, Zara suddenly lost consciousness at the wheel – a stroke or possibly a seizure – and crashed, leaving her with a broken neck, paralysis down her right side and a traumatic brain injury.

Three years later, with partner and carer Ian by her side, she walked the length of Britain. That walk became 3 Million Steps.
