  Racing car champion

A fascinating and moving keynote speaker, Tony’s personal anecdotes are hilarious.  His stories cover real life situations where he rescued people, had motor racing mishaps and generally caused a great deal of hilarity as he throws everything into doing things that most people wouldn’t dream of.  All from a man who lost both legs  when he was nine years old.

Today, Tony finds delight in every living moment and shares his passion and enthusiasm with audiences around the world.

Inspirational and entertaining, Tony leaves audiences with an insight into what can be achieved with determination, belief and a burning desire to succeed and accept life’s challenges.
