Hi Guys, I’m Shay & If you’ve seen my last few videos, you’re probably wondering how I got here… 29 December 2023 — a golden summer day in Cape Town. I was riding along Chapman’s Peak… one of the most breathtaking roads in the world. And then — chaos. In a split second, an oncoming bike hit us. I looked down and watched my leg snap on impact… before I was flung off the motorcycle. I still hear the sound. I still see it. Like a reel I can’t switch off. My hands were shaking as I grabbed my phone. “Dad… I’ve just lost my leg.” That moment — that call — marked the end of life as I knew it. Two and a half months in hospital followed. Pain. Panic. A grief I never expected — for a version of myself that I didn’t get to say goodbye to. But somehow… I got up. I fought. I learned to walk again. And this… is what that fight looks like. With one goal: to show up for myself & every person who’s ever felt like they couldn’t. That’s how ‘The Shay Way’ was born. Not just as a brand, but as a voice. A movement. A way of saying: you don’t need to be whole to be powerful. Much love - Shay💛🌟 #stillmestillstrong #capetownawareness #theshayway #healingjourney #lifeafterloss #mystory #motorcycle #motorcycleaccident #amputee #capetownamputee #capetownprosthetics #southafricanamputee #digitalcreator #staytuned #learningtowalkagain #myhealingjourney #raisingawareness #capetowninfluencer #chapmans #chapmanspeak #chapmanspeakdrive #yepthatsme #yepthatsmetrend
