My Story

A life in sport can be a lot tougher than you might imagine - especially in the current climate.

Since making my own TRANSITION out of professional football I've made it my MISSION to support other athletes with the challenges they're facing, in any way I can.

It's given me a different PURPOSE.

So too has running.

Like many athletes, competing in my sport was taken away from me by the pandemic.  I turned to running when I needed something to fill that void and keep me mentally and physically at the top of my game.

I'm now back in pre-season training preparing for season no. 22 of my football career. I don't think this would have been possible if I hadn't discovered the NEW MEANING that running has provided.

I want to continue to help others find the same benefits for themselves so that's WHY I am raising vital funds for @switch_the_play by running the @llhalf on 1st August.

In doing so, I hope to RAISE AWARENESS of the issues that affect many people but are not always so obvious to detect.

I'm aiming to raise £350 and would greatly appreciate any donation or support towards my efforts.

Changing lives - one stride at a time! 🏃‍♂️ 👊🏻
