Heather Mills
Former Model, Entrepreneur, Campaigner, Activist and Speed Ski World Record Holder
Heather Mills’ many roles have taken her around the world to remote and dangerous places. Her message is simple: never give up. She recounts tales of her varied and interesting life and draws them back to business matters. Heather worked in war-zones as an activist and London as a businesswoman and model until 1993 when, having returned from war-torn Yugoslavia, she was involved in a road accident. She lost her left leg, crushed her pelvis, her lung was punctured and her family were told that she would die. Since that date she has continued to campaign but has also become a global ambassador for high-achieving amputees, winning Gold medals and holding world records in adaptive speed skiing.
