Determined to become a racing driver from the age of two, he continued to pursue his dream, even after both his legs were amputated following a serious F3 crash when he was 17. Since then, he has won medals, presented and appeared in TV shows, set an Ironman World Record and raised millions for charity.
Drawing on his own experiences, Billy shows readers how to tackle challenges in any activity or interest, making his advice relevant to everyone. His frequent questions draw readers into the conversation and encourage them to reflect on their own views.
