My
name is Stephen James Miller.
I was born with cerbal palsey from birth, which is a form of brain
damage that affects the signals from my brain to my muscles and
makes balance and coordination more difficult than usual.
I attended Percy Headly School
up until the age of 9 when I went into mainstream education at
Southlands Middle School in Cramlington. I went on to complete
GCSE's and A-levels at Blyth Ridley High School before gaining
a 2-1 honours degree in Business Information Systems from Northumbria
University.
Being very sporty from an early age, I
am now a professional athlete, competing in field athletics including
the club(javelin/hammer), discus and shot put. I have represented
Great Britain for over 10 years, competing in 4 Paralympic Games,
3 World Championships and 2 European Championships.
I am also a website developer, working
part-time and freelance.
