What were your symptoms? How did you get fit? And, where did you start? are the top questions I get asked. So, where did I start? How did I manage to go from struggling to walk up steps to being able to complete an Ironman? I started off with tiny challenges. I would try and […]
Thank you all for your questions, here are a few I have answered. What would you be doing now had you not had leukaemia? When I was diagnosed with leukaemia I was studying Accounting and Finance at Sheffield Hallam University. I mean it is hard to tell what I would have been doing but, I […]
Just to warn you, this is going to be a hard read but after speaking to more and more people, I have noticed it’s something everyone should talk about more. People shouldn’t feel scared of speaking their mind and talking about their problems. If you know me well, you will know I’m basically the happiest […]
The ASICS FrontRunner project has been a blessing in disguise. I applied online over 4 months ago to join the team, and I was lucky enough to be selected along with about 30 others. Over 5000 people applied and I really didn’t think I would be picked. The team is made up of a wide […]

I can’t believe that it was about a year ago when I started debating taking part in an Ironman. Little did I know how hard the journey would be. With 100’s of early morning starts and 10pm bedtimes, I am nearly there. I have started tapering for the big day on the 16th July. I am feeling extremely unprepared but the […]
I booked my place onto the great north swim on the last day possible. I entered the 2 mile distance on the Sunday. Friday night, I was out enjoying a huge three course meal. I mean I’m talking copious amounts of food! the waiter had to roll me out of the restaurant. I received a […]
