10 Endurance Challenges for 10 years Anniversary

Ten years ago today (21st of January 2011) my beloved dad, Roy, passed away after a two-year battle with bowel cancer. After ten difficult years trying to come to terms with my dad's passing, I feel like the best way to honor my dad’s memory to raise money for charities that represent who he was and the struggles he faced in the final stages of his life.

Losing a parent at 17 years old shapes the way you navigate adulthood. It was devastating to come to the realization that my dad would no longer be there to guide me through life and see my biggest achievements; as well as console me through my mistakes and heartbreaks. The 17 years we shared were filled with precious memories and life lessons I will treasure forever.

I know I was extremely fortunate to have my dad. He loved me unconditionally and made it his mission to show me that anything in life is possible. Every success I have in life can be attributed to him being the loving and compassionate role model that he was.

When I look back at my time with my dad, I do so with a profound appreciation for all he taught me. Not only was he a true role model, he was my idol. Now am I a parent myself, I aim to be to my daughter what my dad was to me. In my work, I mentor young athletes, installing them with confidence and determination, and helping them fulfill their potential.

I have undertaken ten endurance challenges this year to commemorate my dad’s 10-year passing. The money raised will be shared equally between three charities that I know my dad would support. The first charity, Cancer Research, do groundbreaking work in cancer prevention and treatment. The second charity, Grief Encounter, provides support and counseling to those struggling with grief. The third charity, Mentivity, provides mentorship and guidance to underprivileged youth.

Please support me in my journey and help me reach my goal of £3000 split across three excellent charities that can undoubtedly make a day-to-day impact and difference in people’s life.

For more information on each charity please check out the links below. I will be posting a monthly update on my progress here and on my social media.
