    We are all deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Brian Gardner, former Clinical Director of the National Spinal Injuries Centre at Stoke Mandeville. Brian was well known for his invaluable contribution to SCI. He will be sorely missed and our thoughts are with his family.

    We are thinking of Sir Frank Williams CBE and his family this weekend ahead of the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix. He was an inspirational role model for the SCI community and a Formula 1 legend. The family would like tributes to be made here: …ank-williams-cbe.justgiving-sites.com @williamsf1 @F1
