Tech entrepreneur Raina Heverin has opened up about the life-changing injuries she suffered in a freak fall six months ago.

The co-founder of Liverpool-based EdTech Supplywell is thought to have been sleepwalking when she fell from the balcony of a Paris Airbnb in April while on a family trip with her brother and sister-in-law.

JustGiving campaign that was launched to support her recovery has so raised over £40,000.

Raina, whose husband Michael is the CEO of Supplywell, continues to undergo a range of intensive rehabilitation, speech and language therapy, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and psychological support.

Writing on LinkedIn she said: “To anyone facing a life-altering challenge: You are not broken. You are being rebuilt.”
