Paralympian Ian Simpson pens ‘humorous’ memoir, details sporting success & hopes to inspire others

A spinal injury at a young age might have killed off a career in stand-up, but it did not temper Ian Simpson’s philosophy of not taking life too seriously.

In Rolling with the Punches (Short Stop Press, November, $24.99), Ian shares his unique life story, from representing Australia in table tennis at the Paralympics and wheelchair rugby at two world championships, to his career as a history teacher and learning designer.

Having spent most of his life in a wheelchair hasn’t been without its challenges, but Ian is living proof that a sense of humour can be one of our greatest assets. Rolling with the Punches is an honest and often very funny memoir from an inspiring man who chooses to make the most of life, no matter the circumstances.

Ian Simpson is now available or interview. He has spent most of his 49 years living in a wheelchair, giving him a different perspective on life to a lot of people. He is a Paralympian and has represented Australia in table tennis and wheelchair rugby.
