Nikki's Story

My reasons for starting Scotty’s Little Soldiers are very personal. On the 2nd June 2009 my husband, Lee, left our home to do his tour in Afghanistan. Lee was a Corporal in the 2nd Royal Tank Regiment and loved his job. He loved being part of a team and he really believed he was making a difference by being in the Army. On the 10th July 2009 my world was totally turned upside down when I had the knock at the door that every Army wife dreads, and I was told that Lee had been killed. My world fell apart. I was lost and even though I had amazing friends and family around me, I just felt completely alone. I didn’t know how I was going to carry on without Lee in my life.

In 2009, in Afghanistan, David's world changed: a suicide bomber devastated his vehicle, taking a friend and causing David grievous injuries.

Post-2013 military discharge, his mental battles escalated. An Everton Football Club leaflet became a beacon of hope, transitioning him from participant to leader in a project aiding veterans.

Showcasing his resilience, David was Vice Captain for Team GB at the Invictus Games.

Today, he's not merely a survivor but an emblem of perseverance, exemplifying the enduring human spirit and guiding others through adversity towards hope.

In April 2014, David was a wealth management professional who was due to start working for a new company, after being headhunted for his skills and experience.

On Easter Sunday he was hit by a speeding vehicle. This would change David, and his young families lives, forever.

The incident resulted in horrendous injuries, including a catastrophic brain injury and multiple fractures. David was also blinded in one eye.

David joins us to talk about his recovery and how he has used his experience to help others who are learning to live with a brain injury. David is passionate about helping others and has established a peer-support group to help others get as much normality back into their lives as possible.
