I want to take this opportunity to give back to the community where I have worked for the last ten years! Fitness has transformed my life and I thought it would be great to challenge myself and anyone who wants to join me on a run throughout December; all while raising money for a great cause!

2 years ago I was 35 stone; I’m how more than half the man I was and it’s time to put my newfound health and fitness to the test 👌

I’m going to be running a kilometer for each date of the month from 1st-24th December, so 1k on 1st, 2k on 2nd and so on, all the way up to the 24th for 24k, making a grand total of 300km over the month. Not only that; but I will be doing it in a full Santa outfit! This will be gruelling, but all so worth it if we can raise some money for a great cause!

Locations and start times of the daily runs will be posted on my Instagram account daily if anyone wants to join me 👌 and there will be live video diary entries as we go! Wish me luck!

A word from my chosen charity:

Reading has the power to transform a life. As well as entertaining, it also provides distraction in a challenging world, reading provides comfort, reduces anxiety and allows your senses and body to relax. That's why we want all children in the UK to be given the chance to enjoy great books and stories.
