Talking at the Hay Festival on Sunday 2 June, James Cracknell spoke about the impact of his brain injury, which happened in July 2010. Cracknell was attempting to row, cycle and swim from Los Angeles to New York when he was hit by a petrol tanker while on his bike, causing damage to the frontal lobes of his brain, the part that affects personality.
Cracknell said ‘not a day goes by (when) I wish the accident hadn’t happened’ and acknowledged his wife, Beverly, still played an important role in his recovery and behaviour.
