Story

Hello.

I like a challenge and have set myself a few tough ones over the years. This year I have decided to go multiple! allow me to tell you about them;

(a)  Over the bank holiday weekend in May 2019 I became the first person in history to sit in every seat at Craven Cottage, the home of Fulham FC. 

(b) On the 4th August 2019, I completed the Ride London cycle event in that there London, which I am delighted about and proud of. Isn't Leith Hill high?! That broke me I don't mind admitting, a very tough days work but so worth it.

These were two very real (and for me unique) challenges and once again they took me right out of my comfort zone. It is called a comfort zone for a reason you know but I enjoyed pushing myself, raising money for the Fulham Foundation and also having new experiences. These are not challenges I was ever going to find easy; these are not challenges I was built for; The first one was tough and brutal at times and the second one equally so. Sometimes though pushing yourself like that is the most rewarding thing.

I am proud to raise about £1800 for the Fulham Foundation and proud that I did my bit for them. The sore legs and all consuming tiredness passes but the achievement doesn't; I'll always have these achievements and I have many fond memories of them. Thanks for being a part of it and thank you for the support.
