PRESENTER AND DISABILITY ACTIVIST SOPHIE MORGAN BLAZES A TRAIL ACROSS THE U.S. 20 YEARS AFTER HER LIFE-CHANGING INJURY
HELLO! UK
|August 21, 2023
'This trip is about enjoyment. I owe it to my younger self'
Few would deny that an epic coast-to-coast journey across America is the trip of a lifetime. But for trailblazing TV presenter and disability activist Sophie Morgan, it is not just a fun holiday.
She decided to travel thousands of miles from Washington DC to Los Angeles to mark 20 years since a car crash that paralysed her from the chest down - an anniversary she calls her "life-day".
"I always have a party on my life-day anniversary, but this year I wanted to do something that would have been absolutely unfathomable to me when I was first injured," she tells HELLO!, sharing these photos as she continues her Stateside adventure.
