Bio
I live with my lovely wife (Katie) and spirited 15-year old son (Felix) in Morden, Surrey; working full-time as an internal communications specialist. I'm a health and D&I advocate, storyteller, motivational speaker (on my survival story, the strength of the human spirit and mental resilience coping strategies) and an eternal optimist.
I have played sport, particularly hockey, tennis all my life and now regularly go to the gym.
Cystic fibrosis has been a huge factor in my life, but not one that overshadows it. I have always had great support from my loving family - parents Margaret and Douglas (RIP), elder brother Chris and my twin brother Jez. I have many rich life insights based on knowing I have a reduced life expectancy and battling against the odds for over 50 years. My eyes and heart have been opened by my health struggle. I'm driven to help others by sharing my life lessons to help anyone with health and life issues to help them overcome.
My passions include the sartorial arts (believing that it's enlightening to dress like it's your last day on earth), Alfa Romeo cars, spicy food, Harlequins and England rugby, Southampton FC, Wimbledon village and common, Dorset, seascapes, sunsets and military history.
I am available for public speaking on this subject matter and can be contacted via timwottonAThotmailDOTcom. I have written a book 'How have I cheated death?' based on my euphoric countdown year to 40 which was published in 2014 and won the 2015 'Best Achievement' Award at the UK People's Book Prize. It is available via e-book, audiobook and paperback at Amazon and to order from UK bookstores.
Go to the relevant sites below or in the UK go to a WH SMITH, Waterstones or Foyles bookstore and give them my name, book title and this ISBN number (9781849637190). It’s also available via GARDNER’S, BERTRAM’S, AUSTINMACAULEY.COM, BLACKWELL’S, PLAY.COM, AMAZON.CO.UK AND AMAZON.COM
