Howamagpie
helped a family heal
Sam and Cameron Bloom were on an adventure in Thailand with their three boys in
2013 when tragedy struck. The family was on a rooftop terrace and Sam leaned against
the safety rail – unaware its supports had rotted away. She crashed to the concrete
two storeys below, shattering two vertebrae in her spine and losing the use of her legs.
Sam slipped into a dark depression. As Cameron tellsGenevieve Gannon,
salvation came in the form of a scruffy little bird named Penguin.PHOTOGRAPHY●CAMERON BLOOM
