Martha Lane Fox had a catastrophic car crash 20 years ago , broke 26 bones, had a stroke, and suffered serious internal injuries.
None of her friends knew how to handle the situation.
Martha was lucky to have her parents, her boyfriend, her brother, aunts, all doing the real heavy lifting.
To mark 20 years since the crash, a group of us have been walking with her up Britain ’s highest peaks.
Most of us were in our early 30s ; we swapped meeting her for a drink in a bar.
While she remained flat on her back with a scary metal cage sticking out of her flesh the pelvic fixator was holding her shattered bones in place.
Lucy Nickson , chief executive of Day One Trauma Support , said visitors shouldn’t worry too much about not knowing what to say.
