This is a story of a young man’s grit and determination and a mother’s unstinting support.

Nick was 23 when his life changed forever. He was driving home late one night when his car came off the road. He thinks he fell asleep at the wheel. Luckily no one else was involved, but the consequences for Nick and his family have been immense. He suffered a serious brain injury and was in hospital for months. But slowly, slowly, he's worked at getting his independence back.

We first met Nick back in 2016, following him for a couple of years, from rehab unit to sheltered accommodation and then back to living with his mum Ann, his greatest champion.

Over three years on, how is Nick doing? Nick is a man on a mission – to get his life back. How’s the mission going?
