Gary who is from Toxteth, was one of the first British born people to be affected by the Thalidomide medical disaster of the 1950s and 60s.
Thalidomide was a medication given to women to treat morning sickness, that resulted in thousands of children across the world being born with disabilities; many dying soon after birth or early in life.
Gary, now aged 62, was told he would be lucky to live until he was 30.
Listen to Gary tell James and Timmy his story and also how he has overcome unimaginable challenges to get where he is today.
