Hello!
My name is Laura Bird (far better known as Birdy) and it is a pleasure to welcome you to my website. I am an Author, Motivational Speaker and Endurance Athlete with a passion for sharing my knowledge and life skills.
I have a wealth of experience in delivering Motivational Speeches and Workshops to schools, businesses, and charities across the UK. These talks, all based around my own personal story, are designed to inspire, motivate and reinvigorate any and every demographic who needs it.
Those afore mentioned personal experiences may warrant a whole other website in their own right! However, the foundation of my passion comes from nearly losing my life at the age of 18. 4 days after my 18th Birthday I tried to commit suicide by walking out in front of a lorry on the A14 dual carriage way. As you can imagine this left me with life changing injuries. A broken femur, broken hand, broken ribs, severe tissue loss and a life-threatening head injury were just the start of a harrowing list.
That fateful night my life was saved by the incredible team of pilots, doctors, and critical care paramedics from East Anglian Air Ambulance. I still believe to this day, my life and most certainly my legs would have been lost if they hadn’t flown me to hospital in such an efficient and professional manner. Understandably, much of the work I do today, is to raise money for this life-saving charity.
It took me years to fully recover from the physical and psychological damage I suffered because of the suicide attempt. But it also gave me a brilliantly renewed perspective on this precious little gift we call life. I’ve taken on the most unbelievable challenges since nearly losing my life including being a recruit on SAS: Who Dares Wins, running 10 marathons in 10 days, completing Ironman Triathlons, completing numerous other marathons and becoming an Author.
I wouldn’t change a second of my past and I can’t wait to meet you and tell you why. Please get in contact to discuss any of my services, to get involved in one of my upcoming charity challenges or just to say hello! I’d be so happy to hear from you.
Stay positive. Have Courage. Be Relentless.
Birdy
