Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On September 21st this year, I will be on the start line of the 175 mile G2g Ultra marathon at the edge of the Grand Canyon in the USA as I attempt to be the first non-American to finish this incredible race five times. In doing so, I will be raising funds for an amazing local charity, "Just Ride Southend." This charity, based at Garons Park and run solely by dedicated volunteers, provides a unique opportunity for individuals of all ages to ride bikes in a safe and supportive environment.

The need is great; some specialized bikes can cost around £9,000, and this charity relies entirely on generous donations from people like you. Your support can help ensure that everyone has access to these life-changing experiences.

Former Southend United footballer James Walker has benefited from this service after suffering a life-changing heart attack that left him paralyzed.

He now utilizes the service and has managed eight laps of the track, which is helping him gain independence, strength, and balance.

I am lucky and blessed that I can still compete in these incredible events around the world—something that is not possible for some. I invite you to join me in making a difference. Together, we can raise £2,000 to support Just Ride Southend and empower those who need it most. Every contribution counts and brings us one step closer to achieving this goal.
