20. Oscar Pistorius
Oscar Pistorius – the ‘Blade Runner’ – had both of his legs amputated below the knee when he was a baby. As a result, he runs with prosthetic “blades” that are attached to his legs, enabling him to run.  His training and dedication has given him the capacity to compete with the best able-bodied athletes in the world.
Oscar is the winner of four Paralympic gold medals and three World Championship gold medals. He is also the first amputee to win an able-bodied world track medal.
More recently he has become involved in modelling and fashion, and picked up GQ’s Best Dressed Man Award in South Africa and was nominated for GQ USA’s Man of The Year 2011.
Oscar has continued to champion sport as a tool for development and has often spoken of the positive effect sport had on his own life growing up in South Africa. He says
”You’re not disabled by the disabilities you have, you are enabled by the abilities you have.”

21. Simon Richardson MBE
Simon Richardson was involved in a serious crash in 2001, aged 41, which left him permanently disabled. He was hit by a car, which left him with serious leg and back injuries and no feeling down his left hand side.
Doctors recommended cycling would help his rehabilitation, so he continued, using a specially-adapted bike powered by his right leg.
It was during his five-year rehabilitation that he competed and won Gold & Silver medals in Beijing 2008 and was awarded the MBE for his sheer "mettle". He has been described as “a brilliant guy, highly motivated, and with such a positive outlook on life”

22. Ade Adepitan MBE
Ade Adepitan contracted polio as a baby and needed callipers to help him walk. He picked up a basketball having seen the Great Britain Wheelchair Basketball Team in action and since then he has never looked back, playing basketball professionally and winning medals in all the major championships. He has been honoured by the Queen for services to disability sport.
Ade is also a television presenter and his television work has allowed him to help those less fortunate than himself - he has campaigned against racism and disability discrimination as well as being a patron for Scope and the Association for Wheelchair Children.
Ade’s courage and determination was shown when, during filming of Beyond Boundaries, a pulley broke and he was forced to haul himself up a 5000 foot mountain in the blazing heat.
Never one to sit around, Ade’s energy and enthusiasm have led him to compete in the London Marathon and take up wheelchair tennis!
