Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In 2006 I was injured in Afghanistan and sustained 75% burns and double gun shot wound to my leg, I have gone through numerous operations and many hours of physio. 

But in 2010 my life changed I got into Karting through Kartforce, That was it, motor racing was part of my life, it got me out of the hospital and gave me a focus, it gave me the determination I began to lose.

After competing in many Karting competitions a Team of 4 of us have taken the next step we formed Team BRIT, all injured ex-military with a goal of making history and showing people that even when things get bad there is always light at the end of the tunnel....

Help me by donating and following me and the team in making history by getting to the world famous Le Mans!
