Agreed Jacqui, not only in his own life, he was also the catalyst for many disabled people to engage in sport and as a result, I think, was inspirational in the success of GB's Paralympic athletes in 2012.
It gladdens my heart to see these "super humans" perform with varying degrees of disability when able bodied people (whilst fully capable to engage with life fully), elect to procrastinate on their sofas.
