Henry Fraser

Fearne Cotton
About this episode

Henry was paralysed from the neck down after an accident on holiday. He was seventeen.

Now, ten years later, he speaks to Fearne about how his life changed that day and made him the person he is proud to be: the sporty kid who became a bestselling author, motivational speaker... and artist.
