Real Stories: Fundraising campaign saved British sporting hero’s life after horrific accident
In an exclusive interview, Ranvir Singh speaks to the parents of Stephanie Inglis about how they’re coping with every parent’s worst nightmare.
Scottish judoka, Stephanie Inglis became a British sporting hero and silver medal winner in the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.
Two years later, Stephanie packed her bags and headed to Vietnam to teach English to underprivileged kids.
In May, tragedy struck. Stephanie was involved in a road traffic accident whilst in Vietnam which left her with life threatening head injuries.
Tonight on Real Stories, Ranvir sits down with her parents, Robert and Alison to find out more about their daughter’s story.
With no insurance to cover her accident, Stephanie’s childhood friend, Khalid started a fundraising campaign with the aim of paying for her treatment and bringing her home.
The donation total soon passed a staggering £300,000. Stephanie, who has no memory of the accident, is now home and continuing with what her doctors have called an extraordinary recovery.
