Story

So as you can see from the pictures on this page I have undergone a huge transformation over the last couple of years. I put all of this down to the inspiration I get from my amazing wife Claire. In 2012 Claire was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer and after undergoing 2 operations and several months of chemotherapy we celebrated Claire being 5 years clear of Cancer in October 2017. Claire’s strength, bravery and determination to beat this awful disease has been and continues to be an inspiration to me and has given me the energy to make huge changes to the way I lead my own life. I have now shifted 8 stone in weight and it is time for me to face a challenge and help make a difference in the fight against Ovarian Cancer. I will be running the London Marathon in 2018 to raise much needed funds for Ovarian Cancer Action, a charity which specialises in the research of this horrendous disease. Thank you for taking the time to visit my page and thank you for your donation and support.

We are the UK’s leading ovarian cancer research charity. In the UK only 1 in 3 women live more than 10 years after diagnosis. We are working to better prevent, treat and detect ovarian cancer, so that by 2032 at least half of women with ovarian cancer live for 10 years.
