Marlon Laight, shares his story from being told he may never walk again to walking 22 miles in lockdown and mastering moonwalking in Leeds Live this weekend.
Marlon’s car crash left him with a traumatic brain injury and two cracked ribs and he was rushed to hospital where he was put into an induced coma in April 2018.
Medics told his mum Helen that his life-support machine may be turned off when doctors returned to work after the bank holiday weekend as he was showing no signs of life. Marlon began moving his fingers the next day, much to his mum’s relief, and woke from his coma eight weeks after his crash.
Marlon was wheelchair-bound on his release from hospital. It was feared he may never walk again. Three years on, after intensive rehabilitation and physiotherapy at MOTIONrehab’s Intensive Neurological Rehabilitation Centres, Marlon is now walking, running and even busting a dance move after making remarkable progress.
