I am 28 years old and on the 4th November last year I had an Ischemic stroke which paralysed my entire left side which hospitalised me for 2 weeks which Included constant and Intense physiotherapy and numerous tests and scans. I am now able to walk unaided whereas before I heavily relied on a walking cane and ankle wrap but now after physiotherapy and my own self made training programe I am able to walk and accomplish Intense exercises unaided.

The stroke was caused by an abnormal genetic cholesterol disorder called Lipoprotein(a) where my liver produces a specific, sticky type of cholesterol particle. It acts like a hidden bottleneck In the bloodstream, heavily Increasing the risk of blood clots and arterial blockages from a young age, completely Independent of diet or lifestyle.

​I recently completed the North Downs 10k Ultra on 1st August 2026. Now, I am taking on an even bigger challenge: the Peak District 100km Ultra Challenge next year alongside my uncle and cousin.

​I am continuing to raise money for the Stroke Association to support others in getting back on their feet after a stroke. Any donation or share means the world!
