In December 2025, I started exercising regularly. By July 2026, I’d completed my first triathlon. I’d somehow found a hobby that involved three different ways to get tired, and decided I rather liked it.

Now I’m taking on the iconic London to Brighton cycle ride in 2027 to raise money for a good cause. It’s a route I’ve wanted to ride for a while. Reaching Brighton will be an achievement, especially after the hills, but raising as much as I can is what will make the miles worthwhile.

I’ll be back at the Felixstowe Triathlon in 2027 too, so there’s plenty of training ahead. Some of it will go well. Some of it will involve me having a quiet word with myself halfway up a hill.

If you’re able to sponsor me, thank you. Every donation will give me another reason to keep pedaling when Brighton still feels a very long way away.
