Story

I will keep this short.

I worked on Frontline Ambulances in the West Midlands for over a decade. As part of the training, we had to do a child protection education day.  I cannot adequately articulate the horrific information i received and to this day i swore i would do something to contribute in reversing the volume of children being abused right here in my homeland the U.K. It makes me feel physically ill that people would harm children sexually, physically or mentally.

I didn't actually know what or how i could help those kids at the time and the information sat in my mind waiting for me to act.

The time has come....

I decided to try and attack one of the roots of this problem, the illegal trafficking of humans globally.  Over 30% of children who are trafficked are done so for sexual exploitation so this seems like a logical place to start my crusade to help these children.

I am proud to raise money for the Unseen charity that is committed to stamping out human trafficking and modern slavery.

I am teaming up with my father Pete who is our driver and a great friend Leon to climb the 3 Highest Peaks in England, Scotland and Wales in just 24 hours.

Whatever you can spare is greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much for sharing my vision
