Suzanne Heywood: A Life of Resilience and Achievement

By: Press, Sh

Suzanne Elizabeth Heywood, Baroness Heywood of Whitehall, CBE, was born on February 25, 1969, in Southampton, England. Her early years were far from conventional. Suzanne, known as Suzanne Cook in her youth, embarked on an extraordinary journey that began when her family sold their home and a family-owned hotel to set sail around the world in a schooner named Wavewalker. What was meant to be a three-year adventure turned into a decade-long odyssey, retracing the voyages of the famed explorer Captain Cook.

During this maritime adventure, Suzanne's life took a dramatic turn when, at the age of eight, Wavewalker was caught in a fierce storm between Africa and Australia. Suzanne, below deck at the time, suffered a severe head injury that required multiple surgeries. Her father, who had been thrown overboard, was saved by his lifeline, and the rest of the crew escaped with minor injuries. This harrowing experience marked the beginning of a life that would be characterized by resilience and determination.
