Darcey Bussell
Darcey Bussell is a world renowned prima ballerina. Because she started professional ballet training much later than her companions, Darcey had to work extremely hard to raise her technique to the standard of her peers. Despite this initial set back, she flourished and became the Royal Ballet's youngest ever principal dancer, aged 20. Besides her successful dancing career, which included a performance at the 2012 Olympic's Closing Ceremony, she has modelled for De Beers and Vogue, written a series of children's books and appeared as a judge on Strictly Come Dancing.
Martin Elliott
Martin Elliott is the Professor of Paediatric Cardiothoracic Surgery at University College London and was Chair of the Cardiorespiratory Directorate at GOSH. He is also the Director of the National Service for Severe Tracheal Disease in Children. Martin has taken part in groundbreaking research; he was recently the leader of a team that created the first stem-cell supported tracheal transport that was transported into a child.
