One Irish woman has spoken out this week about a horrific road accident that she and her boyfriend were involved in nine years ago.
At the age of 22, Gráínne Kealy suffered serious head injuries, a minor brain injury and a painfully long and difficult road to recovery.
Now 31 years old, the brave Laois woman has shared her story with the world in the hope that it will stop people from making the same mistake as she did.
Take time to read her powerful story, it's worth it.
