Epic challenge to support teen left paralysed by fall while out walking

FIREFIGHTERS will be taking part in an epic Ironman challenge in support of a colleague’s daughter who suffered life-changing injuries after falling into a river.
Seventeen-year-old Jodie Punshon was rescued by firefighters when she fell around six metres into the water while walking along the river path with a friend at Pot Green in Summerseat last June.
Jodie, who lives with her family in Ramsbottom, suffered life-changing injuries.
Doctors diagnosed tetraplegia, meaning that all four of her limbs are affected by loss of movement and feeling.
It is unlikely the sixth form student at Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School will ever regain the use of her legs.
