On 7th July 2005 Martine Wright found herself on the circle line tube travelling to Aldgate station. That morning she was late to work and so sat in a different carriage to normal – as she sat and read the paper, she was unaware she was sitting just 3 feet away from a suicide bomber. Martine was one of the worst injured survivors following the 7/7 terrorist attack in London. She lost both her legs, 80 % of her blood and waited 1 ½ hours to be extrapolated from the chaos by the rescue workers that day.
With life changing injuries, some individuals may have given up. Not Martine – following a one year stay in hospital, intensive rehabilitation and multiple surgeries, she went on to become a sitting volleyball player – representing Team GB in the London 2012 Paralympic games.
Martine is now a wife, mother, motivational speaker, charity ambassador and has even gained a pilots licence.
