Dan's Journey: Triumph Over Aphasia

In this episode of 'On the Tip of My Tongue,' hosts Rob Edwards and Jonathan Hirons delve into the life of Dan Sutton, who suffered severe head injuries from a cycling accident in 2016. These injuries resulted in Aphasia and mobility challenges. Despite his struggles, Dan founded the Minds Over Matter Social Group to create a supportive community for individuals with brain injuries. The episode explores Dan's daily routines, his love for social activities, and how he navigates the complexities of living with Aphasia. Listeners learn about the significance of shared experiences and community support in overcoming adversity. The hosts also highlight the importance of raising awareness about Aphasia, a condition that remains relatively unknown despite affecting 350,000 people in the UK.
