A world champion and Paralympic legend, he speaks about setting and achieving realistic goals, dealing with and learning from the inevitable failures along the way and how life with one leg forced him to be a problem solver.

 

His stories about skiing at well over 200km/hr will grab your attention and Michael’s diagnosis in 2007 with Oesophageal Cancer, 25 years after losing a leg to bone cancer, will remind us all that life can change in an instant. His comeback to compete as a cyclist at the 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games is the stuff of legend. 

 

But Michael is more than just stories. His message is one of resilience and triumph. It’s about the power of self-belief and the drive to find new goals and new opportunities that stretch his own limits and challenge everyone else’s.
