A Starting Block is the person, place or moment that inspired you to become who you are today. Not every young person has the opportunity or inspiration to unlock their potential and find their Starting Block in life.

I'm taking part in the Starting Blocks Challenge to help Dame Kelly Holmes Trust change what's possible for those young people who are facing challenges in their everyday lives.

My Starting Block challenge is in memory of Mrs Bridger, my secondary school drama teacher and Cornish legend. Mrs Bridger inspired me to become who I am today as well as 1,000's of students at Penair School in Truro. She truly believed that every young person has the potential to achieve.

For my challenge I will cycle 202.1 miles from Bath to Truro, climbing 13,856 feet over 3 days.

The Trust works with world-class athletes who use their experience at the highest levels of sport to mentor young people. Over the next ten years the Trust aims to support 10,000 young people through programmes designed to improve their wellbeing, help them build healthy relationships and establish the confidence, self-esteem and resilience they need to achieve in education, work and life.

Please sponsor me on my challenge and join me in supporting the Dame Kelly Holmes Trust.
