In 2009, while on active duty in Afghanistan, Simon sustained life-changing injuries that resulted in the loss of both legs. This pivotal moment in his life could have defined his future, but instead, he chose to embrace rehabilitation and confront the challenges ahead. Simon's journey of recovery has been marked by remarkable achievements, including adaptive skiing, hand cycling across northern France, completing a half Ironman, and swimming the length of Lake Windermere. These accomplishments not only highlight his physical capabilities but also serve as a testament to his unwavering spirit. Through his motivational talks, Simon shares his personal story, focusing on themes of overcoming adversity, mental and physical health, and the transformative power of open water swimming. His insights resonate with audiences, encouraging them to confront their own challenges and embrace resilience in the face of adversity. Simon’s dedication to inspiring others has been recognised through various accolades, reflecting his commitment to making a positive impact. His qualifications as a speaker and his lived experiences provide a unique perspective that engages and motivates individuals from all walks of life. By sharing his journey, Simon aims to empower others to find strength within themselves and to approach life's obstacles with courage and determination.
