Marc Woods, Paralympic medallist and motivational speaker, came to speak to health service staff in Easington today.
He is superb, and in between explaining how he changed from moderately successful (a county level teenage swimmer who was sufficiently good that he didn’t have to try, so he didn’t try), to realising how much he had lost when his leg was amputated below the knee, to deciding to make something of his life, Marc made a number of very important points.
