My Nightmare Health Journey by Richard Clark

Following a serious fall while walking his dog, retired Chief Executive Richard Clark found himself on an unexpected and life-changing journey. What began as a routine day became a two-year battle with ill health, multiple hospital stays, uncertainty, and ultimately a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.

In After the Fall, Richard shares his deeply personal story with honesty, courage and moments of humour. He reflects on the physical and emotional challenges of recovery, the unwavering support of his family, and the resilience needed to face an uncertain future. An unexpected encounter with renowned football coach Marcelo Bielsa adds a unique and memorable chapter to this remarkable memoir.

Raw, reflective and inspiring, After the Fall is a powerful account of survival and hope. It is a reminder of how quickly life can change and of the strength of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
