13-year-old Molly... | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
..and my friend Adam... | 0:00:21 | 0:00:23 | |
FOOTBALL CROWD CHEERS | 0:00:23 | 0:00:25 | |
..used to be able to do everything like everyone else. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:29 | |
But then, they was both knocked down by a car. | 0:00:29 | 0:00:32 | |
-MAN ON PHONE: -'She's lying in the bushes, just breathing. | 0:00:32 | 0:00:34 | |
'We don't know what's gone wrong.' | 0:00:34 | 0:00:36 | |
I don't really remember any of it. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
They had lots of injuries | 0:00:38 | 0:00:40 | |
but it was their brains that were hurt the most. | 0:00:40 | 0:00:43 | |
So they had to teach their brains to learn everything again. | 0:00:43 | 0:00:46 | |
Including walking and talking. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:49 | |
Good, that was good. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:50 | |
I can't do that. | 0:00:53 | 0:00:55 | |
-HE MOANS -Come on, lad. | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
Go on, Adam, keep going buddy! | 0:01:02 | 0:01:04 | |
To try and return to their lives before they were knocked back. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:12 | |
And I'm Cobie, Adam's best friend. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:39 | |
CROWD CHEERS | 0:01:51 | 0:01:54 | |
Adam wasn't always like this. | 0:01:54 | 0:01:56 | |
I've known him | 0:01:57 | 0:01:58 | |
since he was really little. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
He used to be a talented footballer, and we were always playing sports. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:06 | |
But now things are very different. | 0:02:06 | 0:02:10 | |
Adam was knocked down four years ago. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
His skull was shattered, and he was in a coma for ten weeks. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:19 | |
When he woke up, his brain wasn't working. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
Now we spend most of our time playing on the computer. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:27 | |
Before Adam's accident we use to go rock climbing, and I really miss it. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:33 | |
Today, we're going back to the centre to see if he can give it a go again. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:40 | |
Are you going to win? | 0:02:43 | 0:02:45 | |
Yeah? | 0:02:45 | 0:02:46 | |
He still does the same stuff, but just differently to other people. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:50 | |
He's just as normal as he was before the accident. | 0:02:53 | 0:02:57 | |
Adam always wants to beat me. And I'm letting him go first. | 0:02:57 | 0:03:01 | |
Ready? How high we going to go? | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
Going to go all the way to the top? | 0:03:05 | 0:03:06 | |
Yeah? Fantastic. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
Go on, get to the top. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
If you get to the top, I'll get to the top. | 0:03:15 | 0:03:17 | |
-Go on, lad! -Go on, Adam! | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
Doing really well. Do you want to carry on or do you want to go down? | 0:03:25 | 0:03:28 | |
Do you want to go down? Are you sure? | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
OK. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:32 | |
It looks like Adam's brain just can't remember how to climb. | 0:03:32 | 0:03:36 | |
You're tired now, aren't you? | 0:03:36 | 0:03:39 | |
We're competitive. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:40 | |
Say I score on the football, Adam gets a little bit frustrated. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:44 | |
Say Adam scores on the football, I get a little bit frustrated. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:48 | |
Now I'm up here, I don't think Adam's going to be happy. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
Give him some support, don't be tight! You just want to win! | 0:03:55 | 0:03:58 | |
Go on, Cobie, you're nearly there! | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
-Yes! -Wow, Cobie! | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
Well done! | 0:04:04 | 0:04:05 | |
Time for your forfeit, Adam! | 0:04:09 | 0:04:10 | |
-You've got to do the dance now. -You've got to show me your dance now. | 0:04:10 | 0:04:14 | |
-ALL: -Yay! | 0:04:16 | 0:04:17 | |
It's been tough for Adam today, but I know he always likes a challenge. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:25 | |
Adam isn't the only one trying to piece his brain back together. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:30 | |
This is Molly. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:31 | |
Four months ago, Molly was hit by a van | 0:04:31 | 0:04:34 | |
when she ran into the road to see her friend. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:37 | |
Molly now lives at the Children's Trust, | 0:04:37 | 0:04:40 | |
a place where they help children who have had brain injuries to | 0:04:40 | 0:04:44 | |
re-learn how to do all the things they could do before. | 0:04:44 | 0:04:48 | |
Can you remember what you do, Molly - what sessions? | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
I do occupational therapy. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:52 | |
Physiotherapy. | 0:04:52 | 0:04:54 | |
Hydrotherapy. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:57 | |
And play. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:01 | |
Your brain controls everything you do, including moving, eating, | 0:05:05 | 0:05:11 | |
sleeping, and talking. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:13 | |
So when it gets hurt, you have to learn to do these things again. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:18 | |
Molly and Adam both have traumatic brain injuries, | 0:05:18 | 0:05:22 | |
which means that they have hit their heads very hard, | 0:05:22 | 0:05:25 | |
and parts of their brains have been damaged. | 0:05:25 | 0:05:28 | |
Molly is starting to realise that there are a lot of things | 0:05:29 | 0:05:34 | |
that she now can't do. | 0:05:34 | 0:05:36 | |
-Can I stand up and do it? -No, it's probably best if you don't. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:41 | |
I can't reach anything. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:43 | |
Yeah, you can, if you lean forward you can reach that. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:45 | |
No, cos it hurts my legs. | 0:05:45 | 0:05:47 | |
Molly has achieved so much already, but knows that she has to work hard | 0:05:47 | 0:05:53 | |
to get back to where she was before the accident. | 0:05:53 | 0:05:57 | |
So we're talking about you going back to school, Molly. | 0:05:57 | 0:06:01 | |
Is that one of your big goals? | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
What would you like to do when you go back to school? | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
-See all my friends. -See all your friends. | 0:06:05 | 0:06:08 | |
-Be able to walk round school. -OK. | 0:06:08 | 0:06:11 | |
-And join in all the gossip? -Mmm-hmm. -Yeah? | 0:06:11 | 0:06:14 | |
-Cos I haven't heard much. -You haven't heard much? | 0:06:14 | 0:06:18 | |
Are there some other things that you would like to practice? | 0:06:19 | 0:06:23 | |
My memory. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
Right. And what does that help you to do now? | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
It helps me remember what people have said. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:32 | |
Molly has to relearn so much. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:34 | |
She's spending most of her time | 0:06:35 | 0:06:38 | |
getting her brain to remember how to walk. | 0:06:38 | 0:06:41 | |
But she's finding it tough. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:45 | |
Molly, shall we try to remember? | 0:06:45 | 0:06:48 | |
I can't do that. | 0:06:48 | 0:06:49 | |
-Shall we start? -Yeah. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
-Are you tired? -Yeah. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:57 | |
OK, let's sit down again. | 0:06:57 | 0:06:59 | |
It's no surprise she's struggling. | 0:07:02 | 0:07:05 | |
Four months ago, Molly was hit by a van outside her home. | 0:07:05 | 0:07:10 | |
She was so poorly that she was taken to hospital in a helicopter. | 0:07:10 | 0:07:17 | |
I don't really remember any of it. | 0:07:17 | 0:07:20 | |
I heard Mummy say it's going to be OK. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
But then after that it was like...nothing. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:28 | |
Before the accident, Molly was so... | 0:07:29 | 0:07:33 | |
just out there, you know? | 0:07:33 | 0:07:34 | |
She was so popular. | 0:07:34 | 0:07:36 | |
She was always out with her friends. Her friends would be round here. | 0:07:36 | 0:07:39 | |
She was just the life and soul, really. | 0:07:39 | 0:07:42 | |
When I woke up, I don't remember that either. | 0:07:44 | 0:07:48 | |
Because I was in PTA. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
That means Post Traumatic Amnesia. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:59 | |
It means you forget something the next day. | 0:08:00 | 0:08:04 | |
What you've just done, you forget. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:07 | |
Do you remember what happened to your leg? | 0:08:07 | 0:08:10 | |
-No. -Thing is, you can see that damage, can't you? -Yeah. | 0:08:10 | 0:08:12 | |
And what damage can't you see? | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
In there. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:18 | |
I decided to cut round my head and take my brain out. | 0:08:18 | 0:08:23 | |
Then you'd definitely see some damage. | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
Molly finds it frustrating | 0:08:26 | 0:08:29 | |
that things aren't the way they were before. | 0:08:29 | 0:08:32 | |
I want you to follow me, and try and move to the music. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:35 | |
-I can't do that. -I'm going to go slowly. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:38 | |
-I still can't do it. -Shall we have one go? -No. | 0:08:38 | 0:08:41 | |
-To the door? -Just follow my movements. -No. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:43 | |
You're going to watch my legs as well, yeah? | 0:08:43 | 0:08:46 | |
-We'll try it, OK? -No. | 0:08:46 | 0:08:48 | |
Come on, Molly! | 0:08:48 | 0:08:49 | |
Today, I'm going to Adam's house. | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
He has a big idea for us, and he has asked me to come over | 0:08:55 | 0:09:00 | |
for moral support while he runs it past his mum. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:04 | |
You have something to tell me? What've you got to tell me? | 0:09:05 | 0:09:08 | |
You WANT to do one or you ARE doing one? | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
Do you not think two miles is a bit far, darling? | 0:09:32 | 0:09:35 | |
Adam and I want to take on the Great Manchester Run, | 0:09:39 | 0:09:43 | |
along with thousands of other young people. | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
But it will be a lot harder for Adam than anyone else there. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:51 | |
Do you not think you'll get tired? | 0:09:51 | 0:09:53 | |
You've only just learned how to walk. | 0:09:53 | 0:09:56 | |
Can you remember why you've had to learn to walk again? | 0:09:56 | 0:09:59 | |
After Adam's accident, his brain was so badly hurt | 0:10:10 | 0:10:14 | |
that he was asleep in a coma for ten weeks. | 0:10:14 | 0:10:18 | |
The doctors thought he would never wake up. | 0:10:18 | 0:10:21 | |
See that tube there? | 0:10:21 | 0:10:23 | |
His brain couldn't even remember how to breathe, | 0:10:23 | 0:10:26 | |
so the doctors had to put that in until he learned. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:30 | |
There was a lot of damage to the brain. | 0:10:30 | 0:10:32 | |
And when someone's telling you that, you think, | 0:10:32 | 0:10:35 | |
"Ooh, well, it's bad, but it's not that bad." | 0:10:35 | 0:10:38 | |
You don't realise the extent, and how complex the brain is. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:42 | |
Adam can understand everything just like you and me. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:45 | |
But the part of his brain that controls how he talks is broken. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:49 | |
And the part that controls his walking is broken too. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:52 | |
One of the consultants that came into us, | 0:10:52 | 0:10:56 | |
who kind of wanted to make it very crystal clear | 0:10:56 | 0:11:00 | |
that he probably wouldn't ever talk, eat, walk... | 0:11:00 | 0:11:03 | |
And do you want to do it, Cobie? | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
Yeah! | 0:11:23 | 0:11:24 | |
Well, if Adam's going to do it, I've got to. | 0:11:24 | 0:11:26 | |
Cos, it's just... | 0:11:26 | 0:11:28 | |
I'm not getting beat by him! | 0:11:29 | 0:11:31 | |
I'm proud of you. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:33 | |
A two-mile walk for Adam, | 0:11:33 | 0:11:35 | |
who's only just learned to walk again, is a big deal. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:39 | |
So we need to get training. | 0:11:42 | 0:11:45 | |
Right, good luck lads, don't be too long, will ya? | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
I'm trying to help Adam to use every part of his body to | 0:11:51 | 0:11:55 | |
get his brain used to telling different parts to move. | 0:11:55 | 0:12:00 | |
Come on, lets do squats. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:03 | |
One. | 0:12:03 | 0:12:05 | |
Two... | 0:12:05 | 0:12:06 | |
This is what he does in physio too. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
It's only by doing these things over and over again that Adam's brain | 0:12:11 | 0:12:16 | |
will learn how to do things again. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:20 | |
Luckily, Adam is really stubborn, | 0:12:20 | 0:12:23 | |
and when he wants to do something, he will, no matter how hard it is. | 0:12:23 | 0:12:29 | |
And Molly's quite stubborn too. | 0:12:29 | 0:12:31 | |
It's tough when your brain won't do what you want it to. | 0:12:31 | 0:12:34 | |
Especially when it's something that used to be easy. | 0:12:34 | 0:12:39 | |
-Right, which one we going for first? -That one. | 0:12:39 | 0:12:41 | |
I found it quite difficult, because I can't do it. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:49 | |
So I just get in a hissy fit and throw things. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:55 | |
And stretch. | 0:12:55 | 0:12:56 | |
Right, you going to keep it straight? | 0:12:56 | 0:12:58 | |
Probably not. | 0:12:58 | 0:12:59 | |
Molly forgets sometimes as well that she can't walk. | 0:13:04 | 0:13:08 | |
She tries to get up and walk, and she just | 0:13:08 | 0:13:10 | |
basically gets agitated and angry as well, because she knows that she's | 0:13:10 | 0:13:14 | |
confused, and she knows that there's a reason, | 0:13:14 | 0:13:16 | |
but she can't remember what it is | 0:13:16 | 0:13:18 | |
because everything's scrambled up in her brain. | 0:13:18 | 0:13:20 | |
To help Molly get over her frustration, | 0:13:20 | 0:13:23 | |
her mum is taking her for a special treat at the hairdressers. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:29 | |
-..apple juice, hot chocolate... -Hot chocolate, please. | 0:13:29 | 0:13:32 | |
Of course you can. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:34 | |
But even her pampering session | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
doesn't take her mind off her accident. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
-I don't remember anything from the accident. -I know. | 0:13:39 | 0:13:43 | |
I'd ask my mum what really happened to me, | 0:13:43 | 0:13:49 | |
and she'd tell me, | 0:13:49 | 0:13:52 | |
and I could see in her eyes it makes her upset. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:55 | |
Do you remember what I've told you or not? | 0:13:57 | 0:14:00 | |
-No. -No? -Oh, yeah! | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
I remember, I ran across the road, and I got hit by a van. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:07 | |
I went past the speed sign in the air and landed in a bush. | 0:14:07 | 0:14:11 | |
For the first time, Molly is remembering it for herself! | 0:14:11 | 0:14:16 | |
-Can you remember what was broken? -My ankle, my pelvis. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:21 | |
But your head had hit the van and smashed into the windscreen. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:25 | |
And inside your head, your brain had gone, burble-burble-burble. | 0:14:25 | 0:14:29 | |
Oh, yeah, I know that bit. | 0:14:29 | 0:14:31 | |
-Like a pink jellyfish. -Yeah. -Even though the brain is grey. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:37 | |
Sounds like Molly's hard work on improving her memory | 0:14:37 | 0:14:41 | |
is starting to work. | 0:14:41 | 0:14:42 | |
-And there's some news for Adam too. -Have a look at that. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:46 | |
Open your eyes, surprise! | 0:14:46 | 0:14:48 | |
-Do you know what that picture is? -Look at it. -Have a look. | 0:14:49 | 0:14:52 | |
Yeah! You're going to be a big brother again! | 0:14:54 | 0:14:57 | |
Now Adam has got another reason to complete the walk - | 0:15:02 | 0:15:06 | |
to make his new sibling proud. | 0:15:06 | 0:15:08 | |
Go! One, two, three, four... | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
So it's back to training for him. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:12 | |
..seven, eight, nine, ten. | 0:15:12 | 0:15:15 | |
While Adam has the chance to rebuild his life through physio, | 0:15:15 | 0:15:20 | |
other children are less fortunate. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
The biggest killer of young people today is road traffic accidents. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:28 | |
Seven children are hit by cars every day, | 0:15:28 | 0:15:32 | |
and boys are twice as likely as girls to be knocked over. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:37 | |
Like Adam, Molly was one of the lucky ones to survive. | 0:15:37 | 0:15:41 | |
Today, she's meeting the medics who saved her life. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:45 | |
Aw, Molly! Hello! | 0:15:47 | 0:15:50 | |
This doctor and paramedic from the East Anglian Air Ambulance | 0:15:50 | 0:15:54 | |
brought Molly into hospital in this helicopter. | 0:15:54 | 0:15:57 | |
They weren't sure she would survive. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:01 | |
-Thank you. -Aw, you're all right! | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |
I'm happy you're doing really well. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:08 | |
I was ever so sad leaving you at the hospital, | 0:16:08 | 0:16:10 | |
not knowing what was going to happen to you. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:12 | |
-ON PHONE: -'Ambulance emergency - tell me exactly what's happened?' | 0:16:15 | 0:16:18 | |
-MAN: -'A girl's been hit by a car...' | 0:16:18 | 0:16:21 | |
This is the real 999 recording from Molly's accident. | 0:16:21 | 0:16:25 | |
'OK, we're not too far away now.' | 0:16:25 | 0:16:27 | |
When they got to her, she was lying on the side of the road. | 0:16:27 | 0:16:31 | |
She couldn't open her eyes, and she was struggling to breathe. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:36 | |
Last year, over 2,000 children were killed or | 0:16:36 | 0:16:40 | |
seriously injured on Britain's roads. | 0:16:40 | 0:16:43 | |
What does it make you feel like, Molly? | 0:16:43 | 0:16:45 | |
I'm happy they saved my life, but it's sad to go back to it. | 0:16:45 | 0:16:51 | |
Yeah. Cos it was the day that your life changed, didn't it? | 0:16:51 | 0:16:56 | |
All of our lives, really. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:58 | |
The last time Molly was in this helicopter, she was being flown | 0:16:58 | 0:17:02 | |
to a hospital emergency department for life-saving treatment. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:07 | |
-I just want to say thank you so much. -You're welcome. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:10 | |
Thank you for coming back to see us as well, it's lovely to see you. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:12 | |
-And thanks for doing so well! -Yeah, you look amazing. | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
Aw! | 0:17:15 | 0:17:16 | |
Has anyone got a tissue for Daddy? | 0:17:16 | 0:17:18 | |
Ha-ha, you're crying! | 0:17:18 | 0:17:20 | |
ALL LAUGH | 0:17:20 | 0:17:22 | |
It was a bit weird, because I didn't know them. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:31 | |
They just helped me when I was unconscious. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:36 | |
But it was quite nice to see them | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
and to thank them for saving my life. | 0:17:39 | 0:17:41 | |
It's been an emotional day for Molly and her whole family. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:49 | |
Today, we're back at the climbing centre | 0:17:50 | 0:17:53 | |
for our final training session before the walk. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:56 | |
Adam has been working so hard on his walking | 0:17:56 | 0:17:59 | |
that he hasn't even brought his wheelchair with him! | 0:17:59 | 0:18:02 | |
You going to climb the wall today? | 0:18:02 | 0:18:04 | |
For the last month, Adam and I have been working | 0:18:07 | 0:18:10 | |
on getting his brain to do what Adam wants it to. | 0:18:10 | 0:18:13 | |
And the best test of whether we have done our job | 0:18:13 | 0:18:17 | |
is to see if this time he can make it to the top. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:21 | |
It's a race, innit. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:23 | |
And I'm going to get to the top before you. | 0:18:23 | 0:18:25 | |
I'm not going to lose. I'm not going to lose. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:32 | |
OK, lads, we're going to have a bit of a race now. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
So after three, off we go. One, two, three - go! | 0:18:37 | 0:18:40 | |
All right, to the left. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:46 | |
That's it, well done, mate! | 0:18:46 | 0:18:47 | |
Come on, Adam, keep going, buddy! | 0:18:50 | 0:18:52 | |
You're doing really well there, mate. Keep going! | 0:18:52 | 0:18:55 | |
No way - Adam's winning! | 0:18:55 | 0:18:57 | |
Keep going, Adam! | 0:18:57 | 0:18:58 | |
That's it. Well done, Adam! | 0:19:04 | 0:19:06 | |
Adam beat me. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:10 | |
All his hard work over the last month has paid off. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:14 | |
I hope this means he's ready for the big walk. | 0:19:14 | 0:19:18 | |
Like Adam, Molly has been making a final push for her brain to | 0:19:20 | 0:19:25 | |
remember how to walk again. | 0:19:25 | 0:19:26 | |
After months of physiotherapy... | 0:19:29 | 0:19:31 | |
Yay! | 0:19:39 | 0:19:40 | |
..Molly takes her first steps on her own. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:43 | |
-Do you want to walk back? -Yeah! -Come on! | 0:19:43 | 0:19:46 | |
That's awesome, Molly! | 0:19:46 | 0:19:47 | |
Ready, steady... | 0:19:47 | 0:19:48 | |
But has she done enough to be allowed to go home | 0:19:50 | 0:19:54 | |
and start back at school? | 0:19:54 | 0:19:56 | |
This is your English book, | 0:19:56 | 0:19:58 | |
do you want to look at the first page? | 0:19:58 | 0:20:00 | |
Tell me what you think. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:03 | |
Ugh! It's terrible. | 0:20:03 | 0:20:05 | |
It's very different, isn't it? | 0:20:05 | 0:20:07 | |
And shall we have a look at now? | 0:20:09 | 0:20:11 | |
Some writing from now. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:12 | |
We've seen, by looking at all these books, | 0:20:15 | 0:20:18 | |
how far you've come, haven't you? | 0:20:18 | 0:20:20 | |
-You've done brilliantly. -Thank you. | 0:20:20 | 0:20:22 | |
And I'm looking forward to having messages | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
-about how well you're doing. -Thank you. -Will you do that? -Yeah. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:29 | |
-OK, thanks, Molly. -It's OK. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:32 | |
You've done so well, Molly! Hope you get back home soon. | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
It's the night before our big walk. So it's our last chance to relax. | 0:20:43 | 0:20:48 | |
How are you feeling about the run? | 0:20:48 | 0:20:50 | |
You feel nervous? Why? | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
I think pain will be a huge factor. Risk of falling. | 0:21:13 | 0:21:17 | |
He just proves us all wrong all the time so... | 0:21:17 | 0:21:21 | |
who knows? | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
Sure you can do it? | 0:21:25 | 0:21:26 | |
You don't know? | 0:21:29 | 0:21:30 | |
Are you going to try your hardest? | 0:21:30 | 0:21:32 | |
With all the nerves and excitement for tomorrow, | 0:21:32 | 0:21:35 | |
I'm not sure we are going to get any sleep tonight. | 0:21:35 | 0:21:38 | |
After five months of living at the rehab centre, | 0:21:39 | 0:21:42 | |
Molly's finally ready to go home. | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
And preparations for her farewell party are underway. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:49 | |
-So how do you feel about going home? -Nervous. -Are you nervous? | 0:21:49 | 0:21:54 | |
-Why's that? -Cos, erm... I don't know. -You don't know? | 0:21:54 | 0:21:58 | |
You just feel it in your tummy, a bit nervous. | 0:21:58 | 0:22:01 | |
-It's like butterflies. -Yeah. | 0:22:01 | 0:22:02 | |
I get that too. But actually now, I'm quite excited. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
-I'm really looking forward to it. A new start, isn't it? -Mmm-hmm. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:09 | |
-New chapter. -Chapter. -Yeah, a new chapter. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:12 | |
-And turn a new leaf. -You're going to turn a new leaf, are you? | 0:22:12 | 0:22:15 | |
-Yeah. -Oh! | 0:22:15 | 0:22:17 | |
I'm not running out behind buses. | 0:22:17 | 0:22:19 | |
Not running out behind buses! That's a really good idea. | 0:22:19 | 0:22:23 | |
-And what else do we need to do when we cross the road? -Look! | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
Look. Stop, look and listen! | 0:22:26 | 0:22:29 | |
THEY LAUGH | 0:22:29 | 0:22:30 | |
All dressed up and ready to make an entrance, Molly wants to show | 0:22:35 | 0:22:39 | |
her friends just how much her brain has recovered by walking in. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:43 | |
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
Well done, darling. I'm so impressed, I can't believe it. | 0:22:52 | 0:22:56 | |
That's amazing, well done, give me a kiss. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:59 | |
Whoo! | 0:22:59 | 0:23:01 | |
Are you excited to go home? | 0:23:01 | 0:23:03 | |
Are you going to say goodbye? | 0:23:06 | 0:23:08 | |
After five long months, Molly finally gets to ring the bell, | 0:23:09 | 0:23:13 | |
signalling the end of her treatment at the rehab centre. | 0:23:13 | 0:23:17 | |
CHEERING | 0:23:18 | 0:23:20 | |
A big thank you to everyone on behalf of Molly, | 0:23:23 | 0:23:26 | |
it's been very... It's been emotional. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:29 | |
-So, thank you. Do you want to say thanks, Molly? -Thanks. | 0:23:30 | 0:23:34 | |
-LAUGHTER -Thanks, everyone. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:36 | |
Our big day is here. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:40 | |
It's the morning of our two-mile race in Manchester. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:43 | |
We are lining up to start and there are thousands of people. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:49 | |
Stand up, now! | 0:23:51 | 0:23:53 | |
But Adam still seems pretty relaxed. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:56 | |
Can you do it? Yeah? | 0:23:58 | 0:24:00 | |
Oh, very good! Good luck! | 0:24:02 | 0:24:04 | |
STARTING HORN | 0:24:04 | 0:24:06 | |
-Go on, Adam! -Well done, Adam! Well done! | 0:24:14 | 0:24:17 | |
-I'm proud of you. -Yeah? -Doing really well, keep it up! | 0:24:20 | 0:24:25 | |
Go on, you knew it was going to be hard! | 0:24:25 | 0:24:28 | |
Yeah? We said we'd get you through it, we will. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:30 | |
Some of the other competitors are already finishing. | 0:24:32 | 0:24:35 | |
We still have a long way to go. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:39 | |
Well done, come on, lad - you're doing really, really well. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:42 | |
You all right? Do you want to take your hat off? | 0:24:44 | 0:24:47 | |
He's getting tired. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:49 | |
I'm worried he's not going to make it. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:51 | |
ADAM MOANS | 0:24:51 | 0:24:54 | |
You can do it this, I've got you. Yeah? | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
I know it's hurting. | 0:24:57 | 0:24:59 | |
It looks like Adam's had enough. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:01 | |
But he has already walked so much further than we all thought he would. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:06 | |
Tired? | 0:25:06 | 0:25:07 | |
No. Not as tired as him. | 0:25:07 | 0:25:09 | |
He's been doing all the work. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:11 | |
He's always been determined. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:15 | |
If he wanted to do something, he'd usually carry it out. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:18 | |
And hope can get you a long way. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:22 | |
Come on, lad. You can do it. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:24 | |
Yes! | 0:25:29 | 0:25:30 | |
I should've known he wouldn't have give up that easily. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:33 | |
-Go, Adam! -Well done! -CHEERING | 0:25:33 | 0:25:36 | |
Come on, mate - one last push! | 0:25:36 | 0:25:38 | |
-Yay! -Whoo! | 0:25:42 | 0:25:45 | |
Not bad for a boy that'd never walk! | 0:25:45 | 0:25:47 | |
-MC: -We saw inspirational stuff from Ella, and now Adam! | 0:25:49 | 0:25:52 | |
You are an inspiration, Adam! | 0:25:55 | 0:25:57 | |
You're nearly there! | 0:25:57 | 0:25:59 | |
Well done, Adam - absolutely brilliant. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:01 | |
Go on, do it on your own, do it on your own. | 0:26:03 | 0:26:06 | |
On your own, come on. | 0:26:06 | 0:26:08 | |
CHEERING | 0:26:08 | 0:26:11 | |
Nice one, Adam. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:19 | |
You're just tired now, aren't you? | 0:26:21 | 0:26:23 | |
I didn't think he were going to do it halfway through. | 0:26:26 | 0:26:29 | |
But he worked through the pain. Nearly fell over. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:33 | |
Dead proud of him. Really proud, aren't we? | 0:26:33 | 0:26:36 | |
I cried, yeah, I did cry. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:39 | |
Why? Cos I'm proud of you, aren't I? | 0:26:40 | 0:26:42 | |
My boy. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:45 | |
And Molly's having a good day too. She's back at school! | 0:26:52 | 0:26:56 | |
-Molly! -You look so good! | 0:26:58 | 0:27:02 | |
You've made so much progress, you look so good. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:05 | |
I can't believe you can walk, it's so great! | 0:27:05 | 0:27:07 | |
-So I guess this is it, Molly? You're going to go in? -Yes. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:11 | |
Yeah? You ready? | 0:27:11 | 0:27:12 | |
OK, try not to miss me too much. | 0:27:12 | 0:27:15 | |
-Have fun. -Thank you. -OK. | 0:27:16 | 0:27:17 | |
-There you go, girls. -Come on. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:21 | |
-We will! -See you later. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:23 | |
Molly and my friend Adam have survived something terrible. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:32 | |
It's awesome they have got this far. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:35 | |
And with more hard work, they can achieve loads more. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:39 | |
Be careful and make sure you look before you cross a road. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:45 | |
Look left and right, be sensible, and wait for the green light. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:52 | |
Stop and listen. | 0:27:52 | 0:27:58 | |
I didn't think it would happen to me, but it did. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:02 | |
If your friend got knocked down by a car, | 0:28:02 | 0:28:04 | |
you need to be there for them. | 0:28:04 | 0:28:06 |
