DIY SOS | Series 3 | Cork

The Cork Build

Having played on an international level since the age of 12, Adam Drummond (23) was on track to be one of the nation’s leading basketball stars having successfully secured two basketball scholarships in the United States in his late teens. On returning home to Ireland in early 2020, Adam commenced his third basketball scholarship while studying Sports and Exercise Management at Munster Technical University. However, tragedy struck in May 2021 when Adam fell from a significant height and was rushed to Cork University Hospital. Adam sustained severe injuries as a result of the fall and his doctors advised that there was only a one per cent chance he would walk again. 

Showcasing its commitment to Irish communities, the Chadwicks team was on hand to support presenter Baz Ashmawy and the DIY SOS crew at the Drummond family home as they worked to transform it to suit the family’s specific needs.
