I am a proud dad of 4 beautiful girls and an angel boy, Percy Anthony Valentine, who sadly fell asleep and grew his wings in my arms in March 2016. I will forever treasure those precious few hours I got to spend with him and often wonder what mischief he's getting up to and whether he's sport crazy like me!

A loss of a child is absolutely devastating and I experienced first hand the emptiness, guilt and helplessness you feel as a parent. I was so lucky to have The Honeysuckle Charity at the Liverpool Women's Hospital who were there offering support every single step of the way. They put their heart and souls into providing support for families who have experienced miscarriages and neonatal deaths.

I would love nothing more than to give back to The Honeysuckle to show my appreciation and allow them to carry on their amazing work supporting other families just like mine. You may have seen that I've been training hard and this has massively helped my mental stability and I am now in a place where I want to give back and would love you all to be part of my journey.

If you follow me on social media and enjoy seeing my workouts and extreme runs then please donate as much or as little as you can to keep me going. Let's do this together - even get involved and share your own challenges with me. I know we can do this! 

On the 14th May 2021 I'll be taking part in a 20 HOUR Stairmaster session at PURE GYM, WOKING. I know this is going to be tough on my body and will be a real challenge but I up completely up for it! Let's bring it! 

I would absolutely love for you to all support and watch me drag myself through the pain to help The Honeysuckle Charity to continue to do everything they do so amazingly and help more families.

Thank you so much!
