On the 20th of May 2023 I broke the Ben Nevis 24 hour Challenge record, climbing up and down Ben Nevis 7 times in 21 hours and 9 minutes, solo and self-supported, covering about 65 miles with 9200 meters of elevation gain.

I work with children with additional needs at Dalneigh Primary School in Inverness and I see the real challenges that they and their families face on a daily basis. That helps me to take a relaxed approach to these sporting challenges. Compared to that, running up and down hills is just a fun hobby after all. For these reasons, I decided to set up this fundraising appeal to raise funds to help with more learning resources and outdoor opportunities for these children.
