Felled by a single punch late one night in October 2006, former Old Carey player James Macready-Bryan suffered catastrophic brain damage from which he will never recover. In response to this tragedy, a group of James’ close friends started Step Back Think.
From day one, Step Back Think’s aim has been to act as a mechanism to end this type of violence and to prevent others going through what James, his family and his friends are faced with each day.
