Legacy and Community
​
Leaving the world better than I found it; that’s my personal mission. By exploring, trying new things, pushing myself beyond the comfort zone and never sitting back and saying I’ve finished, I’ll hopefully be able to inspire young minds, old minds; any minds in fact.
I will inspire, motivate and deliver the message that we can all do our bit to make our world a better place. My sport is running, so this is how I will do it. Tomorrow is a maybe, today is a privilege, so let’s go make the most of today. I strive to do good, be good, and succeed. Many people say running is an individual sport, but actually those of you that run, I’m sure you know, the running community is the biggest team sport that exists.
This trip will create a community throughout the world. Link all the non runners with the elite athletes, and give access to the sport which many overweight unhealthy kids and adults don’t feel they can be a part of.
I will be living in people’s homes all over the world and experience their culture. Through the momentum of the trip it will draw people from all over the world to enjoy running together. Be it online, through social media or in person.​
Prostate Cancer
​
In April 2016 I took part in one of the greatest ultra races on the planet. The Marathon des Sables. 7 days of gruelling heat running through the Sahara Desert.
I met an exceptional man. His name is Kevin, Kevla to us. He’s in his 50’s and has about a year to live. He has terminal prostate cancer and lives relying on dozens of drugs and monthly tests. He will not have the life most of us take for granted. Before Kev I had never come across Prostate Cancer in such an intimate way. He amazed me. His attitude to life was pure, knowing that time is limited changed everything.
This is what I aspire to appreciate, hence why leaving a legacy is so important. It is for him that I aim to raise £250,000 for the charity Prostate Cancer UK. Through coverage, publicity and an exceptional team of wonderful supporters, I believe this is well within my grasp.​
Personal Goals
​
My personal goals are not just about running. I have a love of photography.
​
Photos capture experiences, people, and culture; it’s a great way to highlight the story of running the world.
​
To travel to every corner of the globe and experience true diversity of race, wealth, politics and society will produce a remarkable photo journal. This will be the icing on the cake of a trip of a lifetime.
​
This trip houses all of what I hope to achieve, I love to explore, to run, to take photos, to meet wonderful people and to begin to leave a positive a mark on the planet by creating a global running community.
​
This trip ticks all the boxes
