In 2017, Jack Eyers became the first amputee to win Mr England. Now a two-time world champion in Para-canoe, the Paris Paralympics is his next target.
For Jack Eyers, choosing to have his right leg amputated at just 16 was "the best decision I ever made".
Initially advised to wait until he was 18 and had stopped growing, he convinced doctors to amputate above the knee at 16. Initially starting out in fitness modelling, he noticed a "grey area" in the lack of disabled models being used in the fashion world.In 2017, he became the first amputee to be crowned Mr England, and since then has modelled at London and New York Fashion Weeks.
As well as his Mr England title, 2017 also marked the year in which Eyers joined the Great Britain Para-canoe programme.
