James Cracknell on route to recovery

James Cracknell is surprising doctors in the United States with his speedy recovery from the accident he was involved in a couple of weeks ago during his attempt to cross the USA by bike, foot, swim and paddle.

In a recent article in the Daily Telegraph, Cracknell’s wife Beverly Turner reported that James is making big progress in his recovery but that it could take six months before he will have recovered from his injuries. She commented: “Despite the huge steps forward, my husband still has some way to go until he is back to his old self, but if anyone has the focus and drive to meet the challenges ahead, it is James.”

We wish him a speedy recovery and all the best!
