Martyn Sibley

Whether I am going through the routine motion of heading to the office, catching up with mates and enjoying my life in London, or something more extreme: there is always something to share with you. I usually write a weekly blog on my ‘daily perspective’ happenings. I aim for them to inform, inspire, entertain and ultimately change – whether that be by broadening disabled people’s horizons or challenging generic stereotypes of disability. Read my latest blog and enjoy the sunny side to life :-p

The same ethos applies – inform, inspire, entertain and change. People have commented the videos get across my positive attitude to life, silly sense of humour and in explaining my useful approaches to overcoming lifes barriers. Checkout the latest video now!

2011: The year I aimed for the stars

My fellow co-editor of up and coming magazine Disability Horizons and I decided to write an end of year article.
