    Jun 13 2024

    Adam Stanton Warmby was born with cerebral palsy, but he never let that stop him from achieving his goals.

    Adam demonstrated his resilience and determination during his epic journey from John O’Groats to Land’s End in a wheelchair modified by the Mercedes Formula One team. Some days he spent 14 hours in his wheelchair, eventually breaking the Guinness World Record for the trip, completing it in 22 days and 16 hours.

    We also discussed the challenges people with cerebral palsy face with accessibility. For example visiting a museums, something most of us wouldn’t even think about.

    Adam is one of eight children, a middle child, and was born on Friday, May 13th. He is a Winston Churchill Fellow, originally from Kent, he now resides in Cheltenham Gloucestershire.

    I found Adam to be incredibly inspiring, and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation. I hope you do too!
