We’re all on a one way ticket but too many of my best mates and the most inspiring people I have known have rung the bell earlier than we would have liked.

In the next 60 days before I hit 50 I’ll be running, swimming, pulling and climbing 1000km for the Pilgrim Bandits Charity and remembering those that aren’t with us any more but always went a little further. 

I don't take fund raising lightly as I know that we all get many requests for support all the time. So I don't do it often.

This one is all about the guys and girls that have been on my journey but aren't around any more. I've spent more of my life without some of my best mates than I have with them but I think of them every day. They are the motivation to get out there and take on the next challenge.

I am doing this for Pilgrim Bandits because the ethos most represents what I know my best friends would have wanted - helping the survivors of the events that took them away, often carrying deep physical and emotional scars, to go on and achieve their greatest potential.

Everything you give goes directly to them.

Always a little further.
