In my previous profession I saw first hand the effect that Mental Health can have on people, often tragically dealing with self harm and even suicide on a nearly daily basis. 

MIND are there to listen, and help people at anytime of day, they are an incredible charity; and one that I have decided to do my bit to raise awareness (and funds) for.

In November 2019 I made a successful summit attempt on Mt Kilimanjaro which is the highest freestanding mountain in the world standing at 5895m. This gave me the buzz for high mountain climbing and now I am addicted!

Phase two was delayed thanks to Covid but in July 2022 I made a successful summit attempt on Mt Toubkal in Morocco which stands at 4167m. Toubkal is a mountain that my Dad has summited in the past and one that was always high on my list to tick off.

In late October 2022 I travelled out to beautiful Nepal where I spent three weeks trekking out to the Everest Base Camp before making a successful summit attempt on Kala Patthar standing at 5550m. This trip was an absolute dream and has cemented that I need to head back soon to climb bigger, and more challenging peaks soon.

In 2023 I hit the training hard, climbing mountains all over the UK whilst learning to climb with axes, crampons and ropes as well as taking part in a 52km "Ultra" in the Peak District.

2024 sees me run / walking from Newbury to Bath averaging 19 miles a day over three days as well as another 52km "Ultra" pushing myself both physically and mentally (while making sure I am at peak fitness) as my September plans are quite simply ... EPIC!

On the 21st September 2024 I head back out to Nepal to push the boundaries once again with a summit attempt on the huge mountain Mera Peak standing at a massive 6476M.
