THE MIGHTY PUSH INTERVIEW (click for link)

(with special guest appearances by Gavin & Scott Hastings & Roger Baird!!)

20 years ago my life was devastated when I suffered a spinal cord injury while playing rugby for a season in New Zealand.  At that time I had just completed a degree at the Scottish School of Physical Education and was playing rugby for Glasgow, and at junior international level.  Unfortunately this sort of story is not too unusual as the type of person who suffers a spinal cord injury, whether it be from rugby, horse riding, skiing, cycling or simply driving a car, is typically young and active.  When I suffered my injury the thought of a cure was a distant hope and progress has been slow.  Currently, however, a number of treatments are on the verge of moving from the laboratory to clinical trials and as such are close to achieving one of the holy grails of medical science – repair of the spinal cord.
