JK Rowling sends inspiring message to artist paralysed from the shoulders down after receiving a hateful email

A 23-year-old artist paralysed from the shoulders down received an inspiring message from JK Rowling after he called out an internet troll who told him he “deserved to suffer”.
Henry Fraser (pictured above) became paralyzed six years ago during a holiday in Portugal. He dived into the sea's surf while misjudging the shallowness of the water and damaged his spinal cord. The accident left him unable to move his arms or legs.

The artist woke up one morning to a hateful email from a woman called Laura which he shared on Twitter. Laura had written:

"Just came across your story online. I can’t believe how stupid you are – you deserve not to be able to use your arms and legs. In fact you should have died for being stupid enough to throw your life away like that.”

Henry replied:

“All I can achieve now will be because of the motivation you have given me, thank you Laura,”Apparently not satisfied, Laura was intent on having the last word. She replied:

"I’m not stupid enough to dive on shallow water. Glad what you went through was tough, you deserve to suffer.”

Rowling replied Henry's tweets with something very inspiring:

“Fate shoved you through an unexpected door and you lit the way for others. I wonder how Laura would fare on the other side? Truth. Fate could come for any of us, at any time. The imbeciles who don’t know that, cave fastest when it happens. Big love X”
