On 18th January 2020, my life changed forever as my father who was loved by so many passed away, leaving behind a wife, 6 children, 5 grandchildren and so many friends.

If I'm honest, this had such a huge impact on myself and led me to go what I would call a bit 'off the rails', turning to bad habits far too often and leading myself down a very slippery slope that would end in the very worst possible way.

After one weekend, I felt so awful about what I was doing not only to myself, but my family, my work...pretty much everyone and decided I needed to change and fast.

That was in August 2020 and I had never felt so low. I thankfully turned to people for help and with a little encouragement, have got myself back on track and I've since led a much healthier lifestyle that I give thanks to so many people for.

I've decided that I'd like to turn the impact of losing my old man into a positive one by challenging myself more than ever before in his honour for a cause that meant so much to him.

In November 2020, I'll be taking part in the Yorkshire Three Peaks Challenge and in March 2021, I'll be taking part in the UK Three Peaks Challenge. I'll be staying sober for the duration and all proceeds raised from this will be going to the British Heart Foundation.

Absolutely any donation will mean the World to me and more! I've never been more motivated to do anything in my entire life and I promise not to let any of you down.

It's been such a tough year but I'm determined to end it on a high going into 2021 and make the greatest man I'll ever know and my family proud.

Dates:

• Yorkshire - 14th November 2020
• UK - 13th March 2021 (Now 18th June 2021 due to lockdown)
