Hi, I'm Liam, and my journey to the CrossFit Games has been anything but straightforward.

Living with Crohn's disease has meant numerous hospital visits and setbacks, but I found an amazing community and a chance to compete in CrossFit in the adaptive division—something I never thought was possible.

Crohn's disease has significantly impacted my life and my ability to pursue fitness. The frequent flare-ups, fatigue, joint immobilisation and pain have often made it challenging to maintain a consistent workout routine. Hospitalisation and treatments making every achievement in the gym a hard-fought victory. Yet, these challenges have also fueled my determination to push through and not let this disease define my limits.

Even over the last few months, throughout the entire qualification process, I was in and out of the hospital, struggling to maintain my strength and fitness. Despite these challenges, I refused to give up. Against all odds, I managed to compete in the CrossFit Open Adaptive Division. Initially, my goal was simply to move and stay active. Then, as I progressed to the semi-finals, something incredible happened – I qualified for the Finals!

This is a potentially once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I am thrilled to share that I have qualified for the CrossFit Games as an Adaptive Athlete. From September 19-22, 2024, I have the incredible chance to represent the UK at the CrossFit Games in San Antonio, Texas, and I am determined to give it my all.

However, I need your help to get there for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Your support can make a world of difference and help me achieve this dream. Any donations would be much appreciated.

Finding CrossFit has been transformative for me. It has given me not just a way to stay fit, but a supportive community that believes in pushing boundaries and overcoming obstacles. The adaptive division has opened doors I never thought possible, allowing me to compete and demonstrate resilience and strength.

I want to prove that no matter the setback, no matter your disability, anything is possible. I want to empower people with hidden disabilities, especially Crohn's, to thrive and to take the leap! Like I have, to show that anything is possible on the world stage, no matter the circumstances.

Thank you for your support and belief in my journey.
