Motivational Speaker

Today Richard a tryathlete came to school to share his story with the Senior Syndicate. It is a very inspirational man. Ten years ago he was involved in a nasty accident in which he was knocked off his bike and went under the wheels of a semi trailer crushing his pelvis. He promised himself to get fitter when he left hospital and recovered which is why he now competes in a wide range of events. What an inspirational man!!
