The fencer, who overcame a serious brain haemorrhage in 2008, was chosen for Team GB the year after and has won two gold medals and three silver.
 
During his trip he visited QEII High School speaking to students in year seven and eight as well as completing a lap of the Mountain Circuit on his specially adapted hand powered cycle.
