Simon and his wife Lesley Paterson are based in the USA, and the pair have recently won a number of awards for their part in the Netflix film, All Quiet on the Western Front.
Their exciting new careers and lives have taken a pause of late as they have been impacted emotionally, physically, and financially by Simon’s diagnosis.
They are prepared to do whatever it takes, and Simon is undertaking a series of innovative new treatments and therapies.
Whilst they face a very difficult time in their lives, Simon and Lesley will document the journey with the aim of reaching a wide audience to “ignite systemic change in the way we approach the fight against cancer”.
The documentary will be produced by Ondi Timoner.
Simon studied for a PhD in Sport and Exercise Psychology at Loughborough and completed his studies in 2001.
