Let's make this birthday one to remember.

48 years old (Born on July 19, 1976)

Happy Birthday, Richard! You're the only athlete we know who can literally say they've run their legs off—and still set world records doing it. From smashing marathon and half-marathon records to sprinting your way into Paralympic glory, you've shown us all that limits are just hurdles waiting to be jumped over (or sprinted past).

Your incredible achievements haven't gone unnoticed—earning an MBE in 2013 was proof you're officially faster than royal mail delivery! Keep inspiring us with every stride; here's wishing you another year filled with laughter, success and plenty of cake-fueled victories. Cheers to you, legend!
