Rachel North (King's Cross United), Mr Mohammed Abdus-Samee (Queen Elizabeth Hospital) |

In 2002, Rachel North was brutally attacked in her own home in London by an intruder and left for dead, but miraculously survived the horrific assault, only to battle for years afterwards with severe traumatic shock.
On 7th July 2005, Rachel was commuting to work on the Piccadilly Line when Germaine Lindsay detonated his bomb in her carriage between King's Cross and Russell Square stations.
Informed by her past experience of trauma, Rachel was able to recover eventually from the horror of that day and used her past experience to help her fellow survivors. She set up a support group, King's Cross United, and found therapy in writing about her thoughts and feelings in the weeks that followed. "Out of the Tunnel" is the book that resulted, an emotional and extraordinary story of determination and courage.
In the week of the third anniversary of the 7/7 London bombings, join us to hear Rachel's utterly-inspirational story first-hand! Copies of "Out of the Tunnel" will be available for sale and signing by the author.
We also hope to be joined by Mr Mohammed Abdus-Samee, Specialist Registrar at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Woolwich. On 7/7, Mr Abdus-Samee was working at St. Thomas' Hospital in central London and helped to treat dozens of 7/7 victims for a whole week. A devout Muslim, Mr Abdus-Samee is certain that the 7/7 bombers perverted his religion in their attempt to justify mass-murder.
