Story

At school, I was the kid no one picked for PE - not even last. Just not wanted at all.

4 months ago, I weighed nearly 100kg and didn’t even know what Hyrox was.

I’m 47. I’ve had carpal tunnel surgery that left me unable to lift a brick. I’ve had a hernia op. I manage anxiety. I hated running.

And yet…

I’ve signed up for Hyrox Manchester 2026, one of the most brutal fitness races in the world.

Why?

Because I’m raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support, and if they can help people facing cancer, the least I can do is push my limits.

I’ve paid to enter. I’ve kicked off the donations.

Now I’m asking for your help.

👉 Please donate what you can.

Not for me. For something that matters.
