This is an inspiring story of a disabled man who completed a PhD. Here are some snippets from that story:A DUNBAR man who was left disabled after being seriously injured in a car accident as a child has been awarded a PhD – after completing a thesis on the experiences of people with disabilities.
Colin Cameron, of Friarscroft, was left in a coma when he was nine years old, after a vehicle struck him while he crossed a road in the former Yugoslavia while on holiday.
