Our year 9 pupils heard a motivational speech from Vanessa Ruck when she visited.

After being hit by a car while cycling in 2014, Vanessa’s world was turned upside down. Motorcycles weren’t a part of her life before the accident but have been instrumental in her recovery. She’s a rider, racer, and adventurer living which chronic pain, and is determined to make the most of every day despite her past, and help others do the same.

A few comments from the students as the talk made them feel motivated:
• “The way she spoke about her experience and the time it took her to complete her goals, she
never gave up. It was inspiring”
• “It was very real and honest”

If you’re new to my page – it’s more than just dirt bike riding, Harleys and racing, I’m on a mission to prove that nothing is impossible if you want it bad enough. See more about my story plus read about my life changing accident, which started it all.
