Great to see our clientJamie McAnsh - Motivational Speaker feature in an exclusive interview on the brand-new TV news channel, DM News English on Sky 522, sharing his remarkable story of overcoming immense personal adversity against all odds.
Eleven years ago Jamie’s life changed over night when he went to bed and woke up paralysed from the waist down.
What followed was a journey of despair to the summit of some of the world’s highest peaks.
The former climber, avid runner and motorbike enthusiast embarked on a long and gruelling recovery, during which, he was diagnosed with cancer and hit rock bottom, which led to a su***de attempt.
Determined not to let his severe disability affect his ambitions, Jamie battled against adversity and found relief in sport, defying the odds to complete 12 extreme challenges in 12 months, raising £250,000 for charity.
He transformed his adversity into a beacon of inspiration, playing wheelchair basketball for Cardiff and international rugby for Wales.

His story is one of incredible resilience and his message to always’ get back up’ is truly inspiring.
