Talks & presentations

Book Zara & Ian to speak

A broken neck. A brain injury. 1,065 miles on foot. A true story of recovery – told by the survivor and the carer.

No two talks are the same – we shape every presentation around the people in the room.

Why book us

An honest, hopeful and inspirational story

In 2016 Zara suddenly lost consciousness at the wheel – a stroke or possibly a seizure – and woke to a new life. Three years later, she and Ian walked the length of Britain.

Two sides of one journey

The survivor and the carer – a perspective few speakers can offer.

Engaging, not a lecture

Slides, video clips, humour and plenty of time for your questions.

Leaves people inspired

Resilience, setbacks and hope – tailored to your audience.

Your presentation was wonderful. Such wise reflections and inspirations for people with brain injury or any life challenges.
