He hit the grass with a heavy thud, glass from the window behind him raining down, and then he saw it.<br \/>\n\u201cThere was a massive stream of blood pouring out of my leg. Not dripping, not trickling. Pouring. Like someone had opened a tap inside my leg. That image is burned into my memory. It\u2019s the moment my life changed forever.\u201d<br \/>\nHis dad scooped him up, hands clamped around his thigh. His mom drove straight to the hospital. In the backseat, Sean fought to stay awake.<br \/>\n\u201cI remember how cold I suddenly felt, like the warmth was draining out of me. My eyes kept wanting to close and I kept thinking, if I close them, I will never wake up again. I kept saying, \u2018I\u2019m too young to die. Please help me.\u2019\u201d<br \/>\nHe survived but nothing would be simple again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>From \u2018Gammie foot\u2019 to finish lines<\/strong><br \/>\nThe accident meant years of surgery, specialists and adaptation. \u201cMy disability was held together by love, by specialists, by visits to orthotists, by parents who refused to let me fall through the cracks. I didn\u2019t realise how rare that was until I got older.\u201d<br \/>\nInstead of shrinking his world, the trauma lit something up inside him. \u201cSurviving that moment planted a fire that\u2019s shaped every step since. I\u2019d stared death in the face before I even lost my baby teeth. Once you experience that, you don\u2019t want to waste a second of your life.\u201d<br \/>\nSean pushed his damaged leg further than most able-bodied people ever dream of: Comrades, Ironman, a ride from Joburg to Cape Town and more. Somewhere along the way, that injured limb became a character in his story.<br \/>\n\u201cMy Gammie foot became a best friend,\u201d he says. \u201cIt helped me accept who I was.\u201d<br \/>\nWhile pushing his physical limits, Sean also built a career in global tech logistics. In the background, a different purpose was forming, one that would become the Gammie on the Go Foundation, focused on disability inclusion and mobility support for children.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42301\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42301\" style=\"width: 696px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/Pic2-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-42301\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/Pic2-3-697x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"1023\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/Pic2-3-697x1024.jpg 697w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/Pic2-3-272x400.jpg 272w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/Pic2-3-768x1128.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/Pic2-3-286x420.jpg 286w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/Pic2-3-696x1022.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/ballito-umhlanga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/02\/Pic2-3.jpg 981w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42301\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sean Clarke with James Willers, a beneficiary of the Gammie on the Go Foundation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>The day he chose to let go<\/strong><br \/>\nBy 2025, the cost of all that effort had caught up. \u201cMy leg hurt every single day. My mobility kept getting worse. I\u2019d done everything: orthotics, physio, injections, rest, strength work, new shoes. Nothing changed.\u201d<br \/>\nAfter years of big races, his foot \u2018fell apart\u2019. The X-rays were bleak: arthritis, joint separation, bone spurs, things shifting where they shouldn\u2019t.<br \/>\n\u201cIt wasn\u2019t this big heroic moment where I woke up and said, \u2018Cool, let\u2019s chop my leg off,\u2019\u201d he says.<br \/>\n\u201cIt was months of sitting with myself, admitting things I didn\u2019t want to admit. I wasn\u2019t just losing a limb. I was losing something that had been with me through absolutely everything.\u201d<br \/>\nTherapy helped him grieve and name the fear. His doctors were frank: keeping the leg would mean more pain, long-term damage to his hip and back and a smaller, more painful life.<br \/>\n\u201cEventually, it hit me: the leg I\u2019d been trying so hard to protect was actually holding me back. I stopped seeing the amputation as the end of something familiar,\u201d he says. \u201cI started seeing it as a genuine chance to start again. To have less pain. To move better. To live better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>From one boy to a country of kids<\/strong><br \/>\nA few years ago, Sean found himself replaying his childhood but this time imagining it without support. \u201cSuddenly it wasn\u2019t about me anymore. It was about every kid in South Africa living the same challenges I had, but without the support and resources I took for granted.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThe purpose of the foundation is to make sure no child in South Africa faces a disability alone. It\u2019s about giving kids the mobility, dignity and comfort they deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>What has he learnt along the way?<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cYou don\u2019t have to be perfect to do something powerful with your life,\u201d Sean says. \u201cYou can be scared and still choose to move forward. Your challenges don\u2019t cancel your potential. You are capable of rebuilding your life into something extraordinary, even after everything has changed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Details:<\/strong> <strong>IG:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/gammie_on_the_go_foundation\/?hl=en\">@gammie_on_the_go_foundation<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Johannesburg-based Sean Clarke underwent an amputation, he chose to spend his recovery on the North Coast.
