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.

My starting block moment happened when I was 14 and I was given a book about computers and that was the catalyst that started my focus on a career in technology. That location is 135 miles away from where I now live and so the challenge of at least 135 miles over 2 days on my bike to support the Dame Kelly Holmes Trust.

Target dates are 17th and 18th August with very little training to date.....

The Trust works with world-class athletes who use their experience at the highest levels of sport to mentor young people.

Westfield Health are supporting DKHT to help young people in Sheffield and 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.

I have met some of these young people and their mentors and they are inspirational in the the change in their lives in such a short time.

We all can personally make a difference by just getting involved.

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