Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I will be taking part in a 170 mile bike ride over 3 days in April 2019. The ride is in aid of 2 amazing charities close to our hearts. The Firefighters Charity and Sapper Support.

In April I decided to put together a charity event to raise funds for the charity who have changed my life over the last 6 years. In July 2012 I broke my leg in 6 places and ruptured my achillies whilst playing football. I have since had 11 operations resulting in a full ankle replacement. This was over a 5 year period in which I spent 15 weeks at the charities rehabilitation centers in Penrith and Littlehampton.

I was told by the leading orthopedic surgeon in Europe that it would be unlikely that I would run again. Due to the work I have done with the amazing people at The Firefighters Charity I completed my first half marathon in 2018 and I am able to train for this upcoming ride.

Please help me give something back.
