Description

Standing on top of that podium with the world champion medal must be the best feeling, and this year that’s what I want. While serving in the Armed Forces, Jamie was training to be a pilot when his engine caught fire during a training flight. He also takes time to get to know people attending the event, showing a genuine interest in their work or lives.

Writing in his book, he explained: 'My existence had become intolerable, the future was an appalling prospect. Jamie managed to survive this impossible situation and with 60% of his body covered in third degree burns, he lay in a coma in intensive care for six months. As he stood up, he described the right side of his body 'melting through the muscle down to the bone' and 'blistering and bubbling like a chop under a grill on max' while his clothes were incinerating and his hair was on fire.His story and incredible strength of character are an inspiration to all audiences who hear him speak. Always great to see you Jamie and I look forward to your next book or our next meet up, Whichever comes first . With his cock-pit on fire and his plane rapidly descending towards the ground, he knew that saving his own life required calmness of thought, swiftness of action, incredible bravery and a lot of luck.

Jamie is now one of the Charities Ambassadors, helping to raise awareness of their work across the country.We chat in detail about that fateful day, how he survived, and the ongoing challenges he faces as a result of his injuries.

Jamie had a survival rate of less than five percent but somehow managed, against all odds, to survive almost certain death. As he lay on the ground, fully conscious, waiting for the emergency services, he could smell his flesh burn. Every part has been meticulously thought through to make our parts the market leading in function, design and performance for tomorrow’s rider! I was recommended this book by one of the team at Stoke Mandeville Hospital burns unit when I was there earlier this year, which is where the author spent 2 years of his life. Speaking to Lorraine Kelly last week, on the day his book - dedicated to the nurse who accompanied him during his hospital treatment - was published, Jamie said he hoped his story would inspire other people facing challenges in their lives.With resolute determination and following over 7 years of major surgeries to recover from his life-changing injuries, he has successfully been able to turn his life around and make a very strong recovery. With a diverse range of experiences, including his time as an adventurer and former British Army Reservist, Jamie is an ideal speaker for a variety of events, and he can tailor his message to meet the specific needs of your audience. It was also an amazing trip around the world during this entire roller emotional coaster, without ever leaving your seat. Jamie freed himself from the cock-pit and clambered to the wing where he stood until the aircraft was only fifteen feet from the ground, with the plane descending rapidly.

They comment that they are often moved, moved because he does not look back, does not voice regret and has an outlook on life which is nothing but progressive. The word "miracle" was working its way around my mind and when the nurses and doctors and visitors came to see me, the word was even being uttered in one form or another. When I started I knew this would be a long, hard road to be the best and here I am 11 years later still progressing and wanting to be world champion.

Upon reaching hospital in Orlando, Jamie begged doctors to knock him out with anaesthetic, and six months later he woke up in Broomfield Hospital in Chelmsford, Essex, on one of the country's leading burns units, with his parents - who are separated - by his bedside. Will fears Meghan and Harry could become 'Royals for hire' prompt King Charles to help fund their lives to avoid them looking elsewhere? Julia Roberts' brother Eric Roberts has starred in EIGHT famous music videos from Mariah Carey to The Killers - but have you seen them all?
