Isaac Harvey... Achieving More
Born and raised in East London, with a disability
called limb/pelvic hypo/aplasia, which means no
arms and short legs. This condition, however,
has never been a barrier to ambitions. From
skiing and skydiving to tall ship sailing,
Embracing every adventure with enthusiasm,
where it is accepted first and questions are
asked later. For over a decade, I've used my feet
to operate computers, edit videos, manage
emails and connect with the world.
My journey has been marked by
significant
milestones
and
recognition.
Recently,
I
was
honoured with an MBE, awarded by
King Charles himself, for my services
and advocacy to those within the
disability community. I have also
chicken pot in an official London
Fashion Week catwalk which led me
to being featured in Vogue magazine,
sharing the importance of adaptive
clothing. I've also built a following of
over 37,000 people on LinkedIn,
sharing my experiences and insights
with a global audience.
My role as an ambassador for several
charities and as the president of
Wheels and Wheelchairs - an
organization where roller skaters
push wheelchair users - reflects my
commitment to community and
inclusivity.
