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.
