Thanks for supporting my fundraising. Macmillan gives people with cancer everything they’ve got. If you’re diagnosed, your worries are Macmillan’s worries. Macmillan’s doing whatever it takes. But without your help, Macmillan can’t support everyone who needs them.

Every one of us sadly will or already has had a connection to Macmillan. Their support to families from diagnosis and beyond can be life changing for many people so when we saw the opportunity to be able raise money to help support this incredible charity, of course we selected it!

We all have a ‘why’ and for most people it’s very personal, I’m not ready to shout about my specific whys but when cancer affects loved ones it all becomes very real.

Those of you that know Alicia and I, know we’re into fitness but this challenge is way bigger than us and our current capabilities. We wanted a challenge, something that we had to focus on and train for. For me personally I wanted that distraction away from reality even just for a couple of hours a day. We don’t just want to complete it, we want to smash through this challenge and earn all the pennies that you lovely people are hopefully going to donate.

So, Hyrox London, we’re putting in the hours, we’re training and we’re coming 💪🏼 🔥
