On the night of September 30, 2022, at High Barnet station, Sarah de Lagarde slipped between the train and the platform.   Trapped there, unseen and unheard, Sarah was hit by the train as it left the station, severing her right arm. 11 minutes after she first fell, she was struck by a second tube as it entered the station, crushing her right leg.   In the aftermath of this unimaginable accident, Sarah faced long term physical and emotional challenges. Yet, with resilience and an unyielding spirit, Sarah has embarked on a journey of recovery and of advocacy.   She recently climbed Kilimanjaro in August to raise money for STAND, a charity that supports amputees in conflict zones and developing countries.   Sarah’s story is one of unbelievable strength, of putting an appalling crisis to positive work for others without bitterness. An episode that tells a truly shocking story but also provides insight and learnings for us all.   Links     Sarah’s Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sjdelagarde/?hl=en" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/sjdelagarde/?hl=en</a> Sarah’s website: <a href="http://www.sarahdelagarde.com/" target="_blank">www.sarahdelagarde.com</a>   Charities:  STAND <a href="https://stand.ngo/2024/05/30/we-are-stand/" target="_blank">https://stand.ngo/2024/05/30/we-are-stand/</a>   Stream/buy ‘Allies’ by Some Velvet Morning: <a href="https://ampl.ink/qp6bm" target="_blank">https://ampl.ink/qp6bm</a>     Some Velvet Morning Website: <a href="http://www.somevelvetmorning.co.uk/" target="_blank">www.somevelvetmorning.co.uk</a>      Your Daily Practice: Sleep by Myndstream: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/5OX9XgJufFz9g63o2Dv2i5?si=b2f9397c92084682" target="_blank">https://open.spotify.com/track/5OX9XgJufFz9g63o2Dv2i5?si=b2f9397c92084682</a>     This podcast is brought to you by Crisis What Crisis?
