On 13 June, I’m taking on a 100km challenge through the Cotswolds — running if I can, walking when I have to, and probably questioning all my life choices along the way. It’s long, it’s tough, and it’s definitely outside my comfort zone.

But it’s all for a cause that really matters.

I’m aiming to raise £1,500 to help fund a spinal board and defibrillator for the Chelmsford Chieftains. Ice hockey is an intense, high-impact sport, and after the tragic events of October 2023, it’s clearer than ever how vital proper emergency equipment is.

While I’m pushing myself to the limit out there, your support can make a real difference to player safety back home.

If you’re able to donate, I’d be hugely grateful. And if not, sharing this would mean just as much — it might even be the motivation I need to keep going when things get tough.

Thank you for your support.
