Jonny Huntington (OO) is an elite para-skier, climber and explorer. A former British Army Officer and ultra-distance runner, he had a brain bleed in 2014 that left him paralysed from the neck down on his left side. Following extensive rehabilitation and discharge from the Army, he returned to the world of elite sport as a disabled athlete, competing for GB in Cross Country Skiing. Jonny just made history as the first person with a disability to ski solo and unsupported to the South Pole, conquering 911km of Antarctic tundra in 45 days. Jonny’s talk aims to inspire others to think beyond the conventional, and not let their circumstances limit their ambition.
