Story

🥶 THE NEXT CHALLENGE: 1KM IN ANTARCTICA! 🇦🇶❄️

After taking on the Arctic, I’m now setting my sights on an even bigger challenge — 1km in Antarctica! 🌍🧊

I’m pushing myself to the limits to raise more awareness and vital funds for Back onside & mental health awareness .Far too many people are still struggling. As you all know I lost a close friend to suicide & another to cancer. I’ve supported my spouse and brother with suicidal ideation over the last few years. Suicide has broken my heart over the years and continues to each and every day. I said standing at my friends wake, that I would never ever feel that “ I could have done more” ever again in my lifetime. So here we are.

If that wasn’t enough, then 2025 brought me cancer and also formally my ADHD. ❤️ I like to challenge myself & to keep giving something back. This charity is amazing and changes lives

This challenge is about more than just facing the cold. Its overcoming adversity & I’ve had my fill.

It’s about making a difference, supporting those affected by mental health , cancer, helping people with ADHD and other neuro diversity feel understood, and showing that even the toughest challenges can be tackled one step at a time.

We need to end the stigma, people are dying.
