Simon Stothard

In many peoples eyes Simon is already a champion, for despite living with Cystic Fibrosis, from the young age of 13 he has raised thousands of pounds in support of Cystic Fibrosis by undertaking various gruelling challenges.This includes climbing Ben Nevis (twice),many cycling quests covering thousands of miles, various marathons (London 3 times), New York and Luton and countless half marathons. He was spurred on by both parents,particularly his father who became his coach but sadly died in the middle of 2008 organising a cycling trip,which Simon took over and completed in his father's memory. Simon is determined to continue his endeavours in a bid to illustrate to people what can be achieved despite his disability. He is an inspiration to new parents faced with raising a child with Cystic Fibrosis, making them realise they can make a real contribution.
