Chasing a Dream While Giving Back

Donation protected
After a lot of thought, I’ve made the decision to pursue a dream that has been growing in me for the last couple years since I’ve started my van life / healing journey. Trail running and pushing myself to the highest level.

i have been coaching for ten years in football and I am so grateful for the journey, the people I’ve met, the kids I’ve coached and just how much I have loved what I do! I have had the privilege of working for two premier league clubs aswell as being part of a great football business for ten years! I wouldn’t change any of it for the world. Football will always be one of my passions and although I’m not closing the door there’s something I want to chase.

Im going to be moving up north to follow another passion of mine of the outdoors , hiking, van life, content creation and running.

Trail running has completely changed my life since fighting mental health battles and nearly not being here today. It has given me purpose, adventure, and a way to challenge myself mentally and physically. Now I want to see how far I can take it.

But reaching the top of this sport isn’t simple.

To compete in the biggest races around the world including those in the UTMB World Series runners must earn qualification “stones” by entering races throughout the year. These races involve entry fees, travel, and months of training. Unfortunately, the costs add up quickly. 

That’s why I’m asking for any support but I want this journey to give back as well.

Since nearly committing suicide I have seen how important speaking out and talking matters. The work CALM do to help those struggling with mental health issues and suicide is amazing and I want to raise as much as possible on this journey for them. 

Because of that, 50% of everything raised will go directly to CALM to help them continue their amazing work.

The other 50% will go toward making this running journey possible, helping cover:
• Race entry fees needed to earn qualification stones
• Travel and accommodation for races


This isn’t just about running.

It’s about pushing limits, chasing a dream, and supporting an organisation that changes lives every day.

If you donate, you won’t just be supporting me you’ll be part of the journey.

I’ll be sharing the entire process:
‍♂️ training
️ races
behind-the-scenes of the trail running world

Thank you for being part of this adventure.
