Picture taken at 6.46pm on 22/5/2017 in
@SanCarlo_Group
& just before we made our way over to watch Ariana Grande at the Arena. Less than 4hrs after this picture was taken we were both fighting for our lives. Always a tough day to get through, I’ll be raising a glass for the 22❤️
This is me and Alfie being reunited
@SalfordRoyalNHS
after not seeing each other for over a month after I was injured in the arena bombing. He was suffering with separation anxiety and I was missing him too. Very emotional...

Had a very special guest at Old Trafford today.
@peejayharvee
was the paramedic that kept me alive after the arena bombing. His 20 year experience as a medic is the reason I’m still able to go to
@ManUtd
games today. Said I’d take him to a game & today was the day!! ❤️🤍🖤
To know Sir Alex is being treated by the surgeons & cared for by the nurses that saved my life nearly 12 months ago makes me feel better because I know he’s in the best & safest hands possible. Get well Sir Alex the football world is fighting with & for you

Whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, just remember how far you have come. Remember everything you have faced, all the battles you have won and all the fears you have overcome…

Big thank to you

@sallynugent
and all the team
@BBCBreakfast
for having me on this morning. The messages I’ve received have been amazing and we’ve had £11k donated to the JustGiving page already this morning!! See you all soon!
This was Alfie showing me the love, when I got home from the verdict this afternoon. He always knows how to cheer me up.
Getting lots of love and messages of support, from all over the world and I just wanted to thank everyone, it really means a lot.

Those close to me will know that
@StevenBartlett
is a big inspiration to me and one of the reasons I started motivational speaking, so it was a huge honour to meet Steven at the
#MUFC
game tonight and let him know what a big impact he’s had on my life. 🔴⚪️⚫️
That was a disgraceful performance from
@ManUtd
you want to see somebody giving everything they have come and see me do the Manchester 10k 12 months after I was paralysed at the Arena terror attack. Good job I don’t have the same attitude as the
#MUFC
players.
Great to catch up with people today at the official opening ceremony of the Glade of Light memorial
@ManCathedral
. Managed to have a catch up with
@FigenMurray
and she wished me and all the
@SIA_Mountain
team the best of luck with our Kilimanjaro climb in 3 weeks time. ❤️
1 year ago today since I left hospital and came home. The last 12 months have flown by and so much has happened. Looking forward to the next 12 months, with lots to look forward to...😎
I’ve just entered to do the Manchester 10k on Sunday 20th May. That will be 12 months pretty much to the day since my life changed forever. Can’t think of a better way to mark the day by doing this and showing how far I’ve come and prove I won’t be beaten.👊🏻
@GarethRoberts3
@GarethRoberts3
Come round to mine and I’ll talk you through what my daughter and I endured as we both lay dying on the arena floor. I’ll then take you round to my daughter and show you her horrific injuries. Pretty certain you won’t be as vocal or sympathetic for long...
Loved talking about my best friend Alfie with
@anna_jameson_
on
@BBCRadioManc
this morning. I thought it would be a good time to show the video of us reuniting after 5 weeks apart. I was in Salford Royal after being injured in the Arena terror attack. Hope you enjoy ❤️
Great to catch up with the best physio in the North West
@carolinewrighty
at Salford Royal today. Caroline got me moving again after my injuries last year and saw me at my worst. Great to be able show Caroline how far I’ve come. Both pictured wearing our
