Having been struck by COVID-19, I spent most of March in bed recovering. While ending up in hospital twice during my recovery, I experienced the incredible work the NHS were doing to help battle COVID, and launched a campaign to donate 100 pizzas to the NHS during the months of April and May as my way to give back to them.

As part of my recovery I started walking, and have consequently decided to challenge myself to walk 500km to help raise some money for another great cause. The Fine & Country Foundation are dedicated to battling the causes of homelessness and aiding those who are affected by it. Homelessness is a cause close to my heart, and in our town is very prevalent.

It’s up to all of us to do something in one way, shape or form. I have set a target to raise £1000, and I'm asking you all to sponsor me so that together we can raise some money for this incredible cause.
