Today I am joined on the podcast by a very inspiring man 

Tim Reddish CBE was born and bred in Nottingham, England

He was a keen swimmer, little did he know what life had in store for him 

At the age of 31 Tim was sadly diagnosed with retinitis Pigmentosa which over time sees a person lose their sight 

Did this stop Tim? Not a chance he went on to win 5 medals for Paralympic GB team 

That’s impressive, what’s even more impressive is what follows in Tim’s career. He goes on to become the Chairman of the British Paralympic association and even the international Paralympic board member

Tune in to hear all about it what he achieved in these positions over the years, please comment, like, share and subscribe free
