My name is Sam Formby, and I am a fighter. I grew up in the small town of Scarisbrick, where at the age of 16, I faced a life-threatening brain hemorrhage. For 13 long and grueling months, I fought for my life in that hospital bed.

I have faced more obstacles in my life than most. But here I stand, in my present property, living independently with the occasional help of dedicated carers. Yes, I am confined to a wheelchair, but that has never stopped me from living my life to the fullest. For the past 16 years, I have pushed myself to the limit, hitting the gym regularly and even completing a marathon on my hand cycle. Every victory, every challenge overcome, has not only strengthened me physically but also mentally.

But my story does not end there. It is just the beginning. That is why I poured my heart and soul into writing my book with the support of Ben Brownbill. It was the story of my life, Ben put it on paper and made it sound good! I want to inspire others to embrace the present moment and never lose hope, no matter how tough the road ahead may seem.

My book is a testament to my journey—before the illness, during my recovery, and all the incredible milestones I have achieved along the way. So please, join me in my fight, in my triumphs, and in my unwavering determination to never give up.
