In the summer of 2015, West Sussex wife and mother-of-four Amanda fell off her bike while training for an endurance contest, breaking 11 bones, puncturing a lung, and snapping her collarbone and back. Paralysed, she spent the next six months at Stoke Mandeville's spinal unit, while her builder husband Vic looked after the children - but determined to compete again, she returned home in a wheelchair. However, the family home is no longer suitable for Amanda - so that's where Nick Knowles and the rest of the DIY SOS team come in, strengthened by a number of local tradesmen.
