"Simon is a multi talented athlete, who is currently participating in the sport of ‘Tandem Cycling’; he has previously excelled at Judo. A truly remarkable athlete, now committed full time to his sport and gives 100% every time he competes. In January he was commended by British Cycling for his silver medal at the Worlds in 2009. His other sport of judo still exercises his time where he organises the Oulder Hill Judo Club, boasting members aged from 5 to 50. He is a true inspiration to everyone whose path he crosses and is definitely someone whose glass is always half full, never half empty."
