This Is My Journey

A cancer diagnosis might have tried to take my running shoes off, but determination ensured I laced them back up. Transformed by that journey, I'm now a loud voice advocating for the physical and mental health of others navigating cancer.
​
A cancer survivor, I am committed to sharing my journey to inspire and empower others battling the disease.
 
Each year, I design bold ultras that make waves, spark conversations, and raise awareness, particularly around testicular cancer, while offering support to those in the fight.
​
You'll also find me and my Check Ya Balls shorts at many ultras in the Uk and around the world.  Each year I aim to fundraise, supporting cancer and mental health charities.
