Jamie's story ...

From John Murphy ,,,,

In case you haven't seen it on facebook yet:
Link below to The Guardian website to Ellen & Jamie's (my daughter and son-in-law's) incredible story. The film was made a couple of years ago originally for a Channel 4 documentary called 'One Killer Punch' airing tonight at 10pm GMT 22nd Nov. Ellen says "However due to decisions made by the channel, our story ended up being cut from the final edit -but the director Tim was determined to get Jamie's story out into the world so thanks to him @TheGuardian have posted the short film today, ahead of tonight's documentary. It's a very hard watch but really think they have captured the essence of Jamie's story and the journey he has been on and we hope this, along with the documentary will raise awareness of the devastation that can be caused by one single punch, as well as what life is like living with a brain injury.Thanks to all of Jamie's friends for being involved and for helping him get back on his BMX xxx "
