On Episode 62 we feature our first athlete from an ethnic background, Henry St Clair.

Henry is currently the Ambassador for the charity Sarcoidosis UK. Henry is an ethnic minority age group triathlete and sufferer of long sarcoid, he wanted to come on the pod to tell his story and try and use it as a way to attract more black and ethnic minorities to this wonderful sport.

His  journey to overcome multiple organ Sarcoidosis ( Lungs, Brain, Heart, Eyes, Skin and Central Nervous System) in pursuit of good health had been long and hard. Initially taking just over 2 years to diagnose and a further 7 years with long bouts of illness .  

Thanks to the benefit of changes in his nutrition and living an active and healthy lifestyle as a triathlete, Henry is now fit and able with good health, enjoying varied outdoor activities and achieved his dream to proudly represent GB, as an age group triathlete at the World Triathlon Championships in Montreal Canada this year.  

As an ethnic minority and Corporate Governance Professional Henry is conscious of the importance of raising awareness for greater diversity in sport and the benefits exercise and nutrition can have on one's physical and mental health and in doing so, help to encourage more ethnic minorities to participate in sport.

We had a great chat about diversity and Henry gave is thoughts as a Black man what could be done. Food for thought.

enjoy.
