Rich Willis: Power lifting 5 times World Champion
The children had a brilliant time today working with Rich Willis who came into school to inspire our children to follow their dreams by working hard, showing resilience and determination and working towards your goals. Rich has a condition called Diastrophic Dwarfism which means that as an adult he only stands 3 feet 8 inches tall.
During his life Rich has had over 40 surgeries to his legs and feet and has limited mobility but this has not stopped him winning numerous British, European and 5 World Championship gold medals as well as holding more than 12 raw bench press world records, an amazing achievement.
Rich worked with the children on understanding disability awareness, goal setting and motivation as well as building self confidence.
