The last time I delivered a Presentations course at UCL was a memorable occasion on two counts. Firstly, I got ‘Excellent’ feedback across the board from all delegates, and secondly, one of the participants was Mark O’Leary.

When he arrived I was amazed at how well Mark was walking on his prosthetic leg. The leg itself was extraordinary. He told me that he had had an operation to have the top inserted directly into his bone. Unusually it was replacing his skeleton and this gave him tremendous possibilities and more comfort. He then told me he was climbing Mount Kilimanjaro in the autumn with a group of other amputees to promote the charity Limbless Association. Impressive to say the least!

If you want to know more about Mark’s trek, take a look at his website. I look forward to hearing about his amazing adventures when he returns!
