Matt Humphreys – An Extraordinary Journey of Resilience and Determination
Thursday 15 May, 2025At Real Life Options, we are honoured to support individuals like Matt Humphreys, whose unwavering determination and inspiring resilience continue to shape his journey. Matt’s life, marked by challenges following a brain injury as a child, is a powerful reminder of the strength that lies within us all to rise above adversity.
Despite facing significant physical and emotional hurdles, Matt has achieved things that many people would have thought impossible. From winning races across Europe to completing the London Marathon on a frame runner, his courage and resilience have been extraordinary. His participation in the BBC’s Children in Need Rickshaw Challenge at a young age further demonstrated his unyielding commitment to making a positive impact.
In 2023, Matt moved into one of our supported living services, where he found the independence he had always dreamed of. In his specially adapted home, Matt continues to live life to the fullest. Since joining Real Life Options, Matt has inspired countless others by sharing his remarkable journey at our conferences, speaking through his voice machine with humour, honesty, and a sense of determination that captivated everyone who attended.
We are incredibly proud of Matt and excited to announce that he has now shared his inspiring journey in a memoir, Learning to Balance in a Wobbly World. We encourage everyone to read Matt Humphreys story and join us in celebrating the courage, strength, and resilience that define him.
Learning to Balance in a Wobbly World – Matt Humphreys is available for purchase on Amazon today.
