In Feb 2018, I walked off a rugby field thinking that a high tackle caused swelling in my neck. It had nothing to do with rugby and in June 2020 I was successfully treated for Thyroid Cancer. As part of the recovery process I’d got into open-water swimming which then developed into training for the Eastbourne triathlon exactly one year after the operation. I now see every June as an opportunity to challenge myself physically. 2022 was the Bournemouth Triathlon before a Saturday league match, and June 2023 was signing up to ride my bike from London to Paris for the PCA. Cricket has given me so much, so I'm happy to give something back to the sport I love.
