LEE'S 'LITTLE BIT OF HOPE'

GRAHAM Lee has revealed he is holding on to a 'glimmer of light' that could put an end to the brutal reality of his life since he suffered life-changing injuries in a racing fall.

The 49-year-old from Galway was left paralysed from the neck down after damaged his spinal cord when he came off exiting the stalls at Newcastle in November 2023.

Lee was a successful jockey who became the only rider to win both the Grand National at Aintree and Gold Cup at Royal Ascot during a career in which he excelled at both jumps and on the Flat.

Now he needs round-the-clock care and regularly visits Jack Berry House in Malton, Yorkshire, the Injured Jockeys’ Fund rehab facility.
