In 2018, Jade Almond lost the ability to walk because of a brain disorder. After months of rehabilitation, she finally ran again, only to suffer another head injury in a car crash just hours later, leaving her bedridden once more.
Jade Almond, 16, from Wigan, England, suffered a bang to the head during a Duke of Edinburgh Award project in July 2018.
Within weeks she had developed Functional Neurological Disorder, a condition in which the brain fails to send correct signals to the body.
She lost the ability to walk, control her right arm, and began collapsing frequently.
Her family fundraised £14,500 to pay for intensive private rehabilitation at the STEPS centre in Sheffield.
After seven months of gruelling work, Jade was finally discharged. A video taken moments after her last appointment showed her running up and down stairs for the first time in nearly eight months.
She got in the car to go home.
That evening, another vehicle ploughed into the back of the car on the M60 motorway. The crash wiped out months of progress in a single moment.
Jade said: "You couldn't make it up that on the day I left physio this happened. It was heartbreaking knowing all the hard work had been undone because of a motorway crash. I was so scared."
She was taken back to Sheffield for a second stint at the STEPS centre, working to regain movement in her arms and rebuild her core strength through hydrotherapy.
Her mother Michelle said: "It's slow progress but that is a good thing because we want her to be better forever."
She was a Wigan Athletic Ladies goalkeeper before FND took everything. She spent two years getting it back twice.
A famous writer, still struggling in his early years, worked nights at a library to make ends meet.
He was constantly rejected by publishers who told him, 'This doesn't fit the current trends; we need fast, TikTok-style content.'
One night, while cleaning the shelves, he found an old, dusty notebook belonging to a writer from the 1920s who had also been rejected for being 'out of sync' with the trends of his time.
The writer had a realization: 'If I follow everyone else’s path, I will share the same fate. The unique ones are always hidden on the dusty shelves that no one looks at.'
He stopped chasing trends. He stopped trying to fit into the '24-hour fast-food' cycle of content. He wrote his own truth. And when it was finished, it didn't just succeed—it became timeless…
Don't be 'popular' for a day; be unforgettable forever…
