Sarah Perris
Sarah Perris, Founder of HerACLJourney
Sarah Perris is the founder of HerACLJourney, a Community Interest Company building the world’s first free resource for all women and girls recovering from ACL injuries — from prevention through surgery, rehab and return to sport. She was inspired by her rugby-playing and coaching twin daughters, Georgie and India, who have had three major ACL injuries between them.
Sarah is a corporate communications strategist with over 20 years of senior leadership experience at global blue-chip companies, including a decade at Ford Motor Company and five years as Worldwide Communications Director for Bentley Motors. She now runs her own Strategic Communications consultancy, Perris-Myatt, advising blue-chip, public sector and charity organisations on brand, reputation and crisis management. A Northern Power Women’s ‘Power List’ honouree and an EDI champion across business and sport, she works on HerACLJourney unpaid, supported by more than 150 clinicians, researchers and athletes.
Sarah will be joined by her daughters, India, Women’s Talent Pathway Manager at Sale Sharks Women, and Georgie, Sale Sharks Women Captain and USA Eagles Vice-Captain, who will share their ACL journeys.

HerACLJourney: A global resource for the two million+ women and girls who suffer ACL injuries — every year
Around two million women and girls suffer an ACL injury every year, and they are two to eight times more likely to do so than men. When Sarah Perris’s twin daughters suffered three ACL injuries between them, she found almost nothing online for them — and nothing at all for her as their mother.
Currently, there is no single source to help women and girls and their extended teams (family, physios, S&Cs, coaches, etc.) to navigate an ACL injury — practically and emotionally.
HerACLJourney exists to change that.
In this session, Sarah will introduce HerACLJourney: a free global resource combining expert guidance, practical hints and tips, real recovery stories and mental health support, shaped by more than 150 contributing clinicians, researchers, athletes and their families. She will share what injured women, girls and their families say is missing from the care they receive, what that means for those working in rehab, and how the injury rehab community can get involved before the platform launches in 2027.
