Simon Weston considers himself a lucky man. He was aboard the HMS Sir Galahad during the Falklands conflict of 1982, when it was destroyed by Argentinian Exocet missile. Simon suffered 46% burns to his body. 

Gary Skyner considers himself a lucky man. He was the second of 466 Thalidomide children born in Great Britain. Dubbed “monster babies” by their medical staff, none were expected to survive to maturity.

Why are they Lucky? …They Survived.

Sometimes moving, sometimes hilarious but always inspiring, Simon & Gary will deliver their extraordinary story to inspire and motivate, and will then lead a very frank Q&A session with delegates to help them achieve their goals.
