My Story

I’ve lived through some dark times — battling addiction, psychosis, depression, and domestic violence. I know what it’s like to feel completely lost, to have to rebuild from nothing. But I also know what it means to fight back and turn pain into purpose.

Through fitness and boxing, I’ve completely turned my life around. It’s given me discipline, confidence, and a new sense of direction. Now, I’m using everything I’ve been through to make a difference in my community — especially for kids and young people who need that same hope and structure.

At Colossus Gym, I’m already delivering sessions that help rebuild self-belief, confidence, and connection. But I want to do more to reach more young people and local groups who could truly benefit.

A few months ago, I challenged myself to run 4K every day for 30 days not for money, but as a lesson in resilience. It was tough, but it taught me what I’m capable of when it’s just me vs. me.

Now I’m taking it one step further running a half marathon this Saturday in Liverpool, completely solo ‍♀️

This time, I’m doing it to raise funds for the gym so we can get more equipment, deliver better sessions, and continue to build a safe, positive space for people in the community to grow and thrive.

Every penny raised will go directly toward helping others find their strength, just like I found mine.
