Forward Autumn issue
The thing we love most about putting Forward magazine together is being able to share fascinating real-life stories from across the SCI community, and we’re pleased to say our autumn issue is crammed full of them!
We talk to Rob Smith who designed a gripping aid that not only helped him, but spinal cord injured people all over the world. We meet Tracy Takaitei who has been inspired to retrain in clinical sexology after attending one of our events, David Croft as he champions accessible holiday accommodation and James Kipling who is learning to drive again following his SCI.
We also couldn’t let our first issue since Martin Hibbert completed his climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro pass without a huge celebration of his success. Read our four-page article with all the behind-the-scenes info on his incredible feat and hear from Martin’s wife Gabby on their life together.
And we are delighted to introduce Marina Logacheva, a SCI nutritionist. Since sustaining her own injury, Marina has developed her nutrition training and experience to identify how diet can affect SCI symptoms. Here, she offers lots of great, easy to follow advice on how you can tailor your diet to better meet the demands of SCI on your body.
Also in this issue:
