Thanks for taking the time to visit my page. It’s been really emotional thinking back to last year whilst writing this. Our story……

On July 8th 2024 after 6 weeks of tests and hospital appointments, my girfriend Elin was given the news that we had being dreading, she had cancer. She had a rare form of stage 3 grade 2 breast cancer, which was aggressive but predictable. The CT and MRI scans showed that the lump was 10cm long but thankfully it had only spread to one lymph node. 6 months of chemotherapy followed and on Christmas Eve, two days before her final round of chemotherapy, we were given the amazing news that the tumour had shrunk to less than 1mm in size.

Following surgery on January 28th my fiancée Elin (I had proposed 2 days earlier), was officially in remission.

Now that Elin has finished her radiotherapy and with the knowledge that the worst of the treatment has come to an end, it’s time for me to put the fundraising I’ve been planning for the last 6 months into action……….

I’m raising money for Breast Cancer Now.

I’ll be completing one endurance event a month for 12 months. I’ll be doing a triathlon, 100km bike ride and The Thames Path Ultra Marathon to name a few. I started the challenges on 10th May 2025 with the Burghley half marathon. My running partner for this event was James Fraser. We both posted times around the 2 hour mark, with James finishing in 1 hour 55 minutes. Not a bad time considering the heat. The following month I completed The Welsh 3000s (climbing all 15 mountains in Wales over 3000ft in 24 hours). Myself and Mateusz Swiecik finished the challenge in an exhausting 19 hours 54 minutes. It rained almost constantly and with 50 mph winds made the it almost impossible, but I strangely enjoyed it! Next up is The National 3 Peaks. This challenge entails climbing Ben Nevis (highest peak in Scotland), Scafell Pike (highest peak in England) and Snowdon (highest peak in Wales) in 24 hours. I’ll be completing this challenge with Lee Whatton and Support will be provided by Dan Cleall. The final event will be a full marathon in April 2026, which also happens to be the month I turn 50!!!

Thanks for reading, all the best.
