In 2003 an abscess on my brain left me paralysed down one side and fighting for survival in intensive care. After two major operations and months of physiotherapy, Great Ormond Street Hospital saved my life and restored all feeling in my body. I owe them everything.

On 17th September 2021, I begin my triathlon across Britain. Starting at Land's End, Cornwall (mainland Britain's most south-westerly point), I will cycle 547 miles north to The Lake District. Then, it's time to Swim. I will swim 11 miles through England's longest lake (Windermere), followed by the last 180 miles of cycling. Swapping the tyres for trainers, I will then run 10x back to back marathons through Scotland; finishing my 1,000 mile journey at John O'Groats (the most northerly point of mainland Britain).

Please help me save more children’s lives by sharing my story and donating now.
