BIOGRAPHY
After serving in the army Chris joined HALO, the Hazardous Areas Life-Support Organisation. His role was to supervise former Cambodian soldiers in the dangerous task of mine clearance.
When he and two others were kidnapped by the Khmer Rouge, Chris kept his nerve and eventually negotiated their release. He then assumed control of large-scale mine clearance in Mozambique. But one day, walking across a previously cleared area, he trod on a deep-hidden land mine and lost his right lower leg and right hand.
Less than a year later Chris completed the London Marathon. As if this colossal display of willpower weren't enough, he went on to became the first leg amputee to take part in the Great Sahara Run - described as the toughest race on earth. Competitors run for six days in the heat and sand, carrying all their own food and equipment.
Chris went on to complete the Outback Challenge, an ultra-marathon through some of the most arid Australian country. Next, he ran 700 km down the length of Cambodia.
Chris has since taken part in dozens of challenges, raising thousands of pounds for charity. In a humbling and inspiring presentation he talks about leadership, human potential and developing the mindset to challenge your limits.
