Story

The charity

I decided to run for JRS-UK as I went to St Ignatius College and it gave me a great education. The work of the Jesuits and what they do for refugees is more important than ever!

JRS-UK defends the rights of refugees. They improve refugees' quality of life by raising awareness of the real hardships they face in the UK, especially during the time they are asylum seekers.

About me

I began running as a way to clear my head from daily life. I found out I could rock up to marathons having done little training. I then did a Half Ironman in Galway with very little training. I crossed the line in pain knowing I could do an Ironman. 4 Ironman races later I took on the Sahara, racing 258k through the desert, finishing in the top 10% of runners.
