A man who had to learn to walk again after being in a coma for three and a half weeks is training to run the London Marathon.
Connor Blundell, 25, was on a year abroad in Valencia, Spain, studying mechanical engineering. Five weeks into his studies, Connor was out with friends when he fell four metres from a platform and landed on his head. Connor was unconscious and rushed to hospital where he spent three and a half weeks in a coma. When Connor became conscious he was non-verbal and unable to walk and spent nine months in rehabilitation.
'My sister took a year sabbatical and my parents were forced to take a year off from their own jobs to stay with me in Spain. It was tough for me and it was tough of them. They had to sit there not knowing if I would die tomorrow.' After he woke up, Connor started physio where he would learn to walk, talk and have cognitive therapy for four hours a day. He was in hospital for a further four months before he was discharged and became and outpatient.
