THE ANDREW SIMPSON SPORT ENABLING TRUST

Andrew was passionate about sport, technology and design - and Sunderland AFC. He was a student of Mechanical Engineering and Product Design at Loughborough University when he discovered that he had a rare form of osteosarcoma (telangiectatic osteosarcoma). It led to the amputation of his left leg... Andrew refused to be labelled as disabled; he did not want to be seen differently; he wanted a normal life... While he was mobile, his spirits were high. Sport played a key role. He adapted kit and equipment to suit his new needs; nothing could be found off-the-peg; Designer sportswear non-existent for the young amputee.
