Stephen Wilson - Paralympian

I have been associated with APC for 11 years. I first heard about David Howells in 1997 after hearing that he took particular interest in running prosthetics. As an aspiring amputee sprinter I told him of my interest in running and asked him if he would make me a leg. Not only did he make me a leg but he accompanied me to the track for the first 6 months of training ensuring that the leg was functioning correctly and taking a general interest in my progress.

In the years that followed, I have competed in 3 Paralympic Games which have resulted in 2 Gold medals, 1 Silver Medal and 2 Bronze Medals. Without the support of APC, I wouldn't have achieved the results or had the experiences that I have had. I have found them to be always looking to the future in terms of the latest technology and continually working  to enhance the lives of amputees.

The fact that I think very little about my disability, and lead a very active and limitless life is a testament to the work done at APC.
