The ART of

COU R AGE

Henry Fraser has been on an incredible journey since experiencing a life changing accident in his teenage years which has left him paralysed from the shoulders down. From starting his recovery to becoming an accomplished artist and writer, his determination and positive outlook have led him to triumph in ways most of us could not imagine. In his first book ‘The little big things’ Henry unflinchingly describes the day that changed his life. A life that was full of promise. Like his big brother before him Henry had been offered a rugby scholarship to attend Dulwich College and his life was a whirlwind of activity, from training through to the exhilarating adventures and freedoms that came with moving to London. It was whilst on holiday in Portugal with his friends after completing his AS level exams Henry took a fateful dive into the sea, hitting his head on a sandbank. Henry describes the truly frightening days and weeks that followed in hospital in an unfamiliar country, and the poignant moment he was reunited with his parents.
