In January 2023, I am attempting to become the first person with a disability to complete the gruelling World Marathon Challenge (7 marathons, 7 days, 7 continents) unsupported.

If we can raise £80,000 for the Armed Forces Para-Snowsport Team we can pay for 50 injured/wounded veterans to experience the freedom of alpine/nordic skiing (as well as snowboarding) at the annual AFPST training camp in 2023. £80,000 would fund the entire project. 

On the 6th August 2016, my life changed forever. Whilst rock climbing in North Wales, I was involved in a near-fatal climbing accident that would leave me paralysed from the chest down for the rest of my life. I was incredibly fortunate to survive, but life would never be the same again.

Since that day, I have been on a journey of rediscovery, and have refused to let disability stop me from dreaming big and taking on tough challenges. In June 2021, I was part of a world first expedition (Kayak 4 Heroes) to kayak from Land's End to John O' Groats by a team of adaptive adventurers. In Jan 2023, I will embark on my biggest personal challenge...completing the gruelling World Marathon Challenge!
