When Conor O'Donnell (@thebritishmotorbiker) was 12, his life was completely upended when he woke up to searing pain in both his feet.
Seemingly from out of nowhere, he’d developed a condition known as neuropathy. Defined as damage to the nerves outside of the brain and spinal column, Conor went from living a normal childhood to facing years of agony, watching as it affected the muscles in his legs to the point that he could barely walk. All of this whilst it went undiagnosed.
Six years after it first started, he was finally diagnosed and as his friends were making plans for their gap year, Conor started the first of four surgeries to help restructure his legs.
Although he's still affected on a day to day basis, having found a world of motorbikes, a world that gave him his independence back, he's now pursuing a career in content creation.
