CHRIS MOON has challenged the concept of limitation in a number of different ways, one of which has been through his dedication to his running.It is estimated that an amputee like Chris requires 30% more energy to run than a able bodied person but, already Chris has completed in many events most of which would seriously challenge the fittest of athletes.

Chris is the first amputee to finish the Great Sahara Run and the Badwater 135 mile Death Valley Ultra (5 marathons back to back) which take place in temperatures close to those recommended for slow cooking chicken.

Chris has completed in numerous other marathons including the London Marathon and has many more planned.

Why?, you ask. "For people like the farmer I met in Cambodia who'd both his legs blown off by a landmine but still had four children to feed. And so he strapped two old car tyres to his stumps so he could go out into the fields to plant rice. It was the most dignified and defiant sight I've ever seen."
