"I arrived in Central Park for the Achilles International Hope & Possibility 4 Miler. The energy was incredible, but what stood out most was you. As a double Paralympic gold medallist and the fastest leg amputee marathon runner in history, you could have focused solely on your own race. Instead, you took the time to encourage me, support me, and make sure I felt ready.
In that moment, I experienced what true inclusion looks like. It is not being left to keep up. It is being welcomed exactly as you are.
When I crossed the finish line as the final finisher, you reminded me that finishing was an accomplishment in itself. That simple act of encouragement meant more than you know and is something I will carry with me for a long time.
Thank you for leading not only through your achievements, but through your generosity, humility, and belief in others."
Becky Curran, Hope & Possibility event, New York, June 2026
“What an absolute pleasure it was for Richard to join us on a lunchtime run from our office in Nottingham last week! We love the Wellbeing Run initiative, it’s a sociable and fun chance to step away from our desks and get inspired by movement and sport.
Richard was accommodating to all abilities and it was such a pleasure to spend time with him and also learn more about his awesome career and progress. Thank you Richard for kickstarting Team Logobrand back to our weekly run clubs – you inspired us to continue on the movement!”

" I just wanted to thank you for your inspirational contribution to our strategic planning conference last week.
Your input was pitched perfectly. Colleagues appreciated and empathised with your story and your message on a very personal level.
We've had many elite performers over the years we have been running our conference, but it was fantastic how you were able to connect your message so well with our mission and the conference theme.
Colleagues were particularly struck by the deep sense of service you have despite your unprecedented success. We particularly appreciated the time you spent getting to know us in advance that helped make this possible. It will be great to continue to work together in the future."
Chris Parkinson, CEO LiFE Multi-Academy Trust, June 2026

"Richard is brilliant to work with. He is not only an incredible athlete and inspiration in his own achievements, but his love of sport and the power of sport for all is contagious.
His open and honest approach to championing inclusivity, and his determination to always find ways to enable more people to benefit from the power of sport to unite people, makes for a positive and proactive direction.
He is a valuable member of Bupa's Accessibility Advocacy Forum, his contribution helps us to look at the bigger picture, consider societal shifts required, differences across the globe and how we can influence change through a culture of understanding and inclusion across both our business and our approach to healthcare.
He has also been an invaluable partner to us in several campaigns to show the world that we all have health, we all have a health story, sharing our stories can help not only us but others too."
Claire, Group Head of Inclusion, Bupa UK

"Richard's talk was expertly tailored to our event, with clear takeaways that applied across the many different disciplines represented by our delegates.
Richard was generous with his time, happy to answer questions, pose for photographs and engage with our wider social activity.
We would recommend Richard as a keynote speaker for organisations seeking to deliver an engaging and impactful event."
