This is a past event
We are delighted to welcome University of Aberdeen graduate, Neil Fachie for a virtual event discussing his incredible sports career.
If you would like to join the event this is the link to do so:
Neil is a British multiple gold medallist in the Paralympics, where he competed with the GB Para-Cycling Team and set a world record in the Men's 1km Time Trial. He was diagnosed with a degenerative eye condition known as Retinitis Pigmentosa at the age of 4 but this certainly hasn't stopped him! As if his sporting career was not impressive enough, last year Neil wrote his first book titled 'Earn Your Stripes'. The book is designed to help readers rise up and reach their potential by applying Neil's methodology to the challenges they face.
Neil will be joined by Professor Jan Skakle, Personal Chair in Physics, for what promises to be a unique insight into his incredible achievements. Professor Skakle was one of Neil's Professors during his studies at the University, and provided him with support and encouragement as his sports career was taking off.
Guests will also have the opportunity to ask questions as part of the event.
Online registrations have now closed. If you would like to attend this event please email us at alumni@abdn.ac.uk and we will register you.
