He twice pushed his way around Wales (in 1987, 1997) with his training partner and fellow Paralympian John Harris, to raise money for a purpose-built wheelchair-accessible training centre at Cyncoed, Cardiff.
He competed at two Commonwealth Games, in New Zealand (1990), and in Victoria, British Columbia (1994), respectively, as well as World and European Championships.
Chris took the bronze medal at the 100m wheelchair race during the 1992 paralympics in Barcelona As an administrator he organised several National events, and was Chairman of the British Wheelchair Racing Association from 1990 to 1992.
In his coaching career he worked with several successful British athletes including Rose Hill, the British Record Holder for the marathon, and Dan Lucker who became world junior champion.
He received a successful kidney transplant in 1996 (with a living donation from his father), but was diagnosed with lymphoma in 2011 and received chemotherapy treatment.
In 2002 he became a Winston Churchill Fellow writing his report on the access of disabled people to specialist training equipment and gyms.
