52 - Owen Morgan - World Health Heroes.

​I LOVE this man and what he and his Heroes are achieving.

Owen Morgan is the founder of the World Health Heroes which is an amazing organisation which brings together those in need with the relevant therapists that they may not normally be able to afford to see. 

Owen came up with the idea after he himself suffered from a debilitating condition called intussusception.  Finding himself in chronic pain and vomiting he sought help but although those symptoms were brought under control unfortunately the full condition was not diagnosed straight away. He lost a lot of weight and his body went into survival mode. He ended up having to have surgery to bring it under control.

The stint in hospital and his road to recovery got Owen thinking about how awful it must be for people who are stuck in a position of not being able to work and not being able to fund their own continued treatment and recovery.  Owen was self employed as a massage therapist and personal trainer when he fell ill and lost a lot of money because he himself could not work during that time.

As Owen went down to surgery he was convinced he was going to die. When he came round and realised his life had not ended it was also now a time to reflect on how he had lived his life before this terrible condition struck and how he wanted to live the rest of his life thereafter. After growing up with abuse and bullying in his childhood Owen had learnt to people please, to make sure people liked him, as if they didn’t that equated to violence being reigned down on him. It was time to stop people pleasing and worrying about what others thought of him and to start living his truth.
