Sebastian Coe

I've never sent an email in my life. My kids laugh. I often hand the phone to them and say, 'Can you text this message to somebody.' I don't even have a computer on my desk.

My mother was Indian, brought up in Delhi. My grandparents were born in Bow and Poplar.

I started daily training at the age of 14. When I was 16 years old, I was running twice a day.

The fact that I spent my life in universities in a manner that I no longer have close identification with bricklayers is a pain to me.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

As the mother of a grown son with a traumatic brain injury, I couldn't be more excited about the prospect of finding out how to repair even a small part of the damage that changed his life.
