Christopher is unbelievably inspirational person.
Being diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis when he was very small, when growing up he decided that nothing was going to get in his way of what he wanted to achieve.
He studied at York St. John and with no surprise graduated and is now returning to studies this September to complete a PGCE.
He recently ran the London Marathon raising over £4,000 for Cystic Fibrosis Trust even after injuring his knee he completed the marathon in just over 4 hours and was invited to play on the Cystic Fibrosis team in the football match for Nicky's Whisper Challenge Trophy 2011.
Battling against the odds, as he spent several weeks in hospital since the beginning of 2011 and still managing to complete everything he has done this year, never mind what he has achieved during his lifetime so far.
Chris is living proof that no matter what is thrown your way if you are determined enough nothing will stop you reaching those goals.
I have never met anybody so inspirational in the whole of my life and knowing that he is still striving to do everything thing he is possibly able to, just adds the cherry to the cake :).
