Thank you for
visiting my website please feel free to browse around
the site where I hope you will find some relevant,
interesting and exciting content. The site contains all
the latest information on my up and coming adventures as
well as my past endeavours.
Ultra Marathon
Man
As the title says I am now an accomplished ultra
marathon runner who, at the age of 27 years, has started
to achieve some ultra running credentials. I will begin
with my adventure across the United States of America
where I ran from Huntington Beach, California (West
Coast), all the way to Central Park New York City (East
Coast). The run started on June 14th 2007 and finally
finished on September 16th 2007 in the Big Apple,
covering just over 3000 miles through some of the
toughest terrains in the world, also in the American
summer heat.
I have many more ambitious goals to achieve whilst
covering the world by foot. The following countries
WILL be covered: America (completed summer
2007), Scotland (completed summer 2008) France,
Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Finland,
East Russia, East Asia, Canada and Ireland.
As well as running across countries I will also be
competing in some of the most extreme races in the world
that have intrigued me over the years. The extreme races
range from running across Death Valley to the North Pole
Marathon. Altogether there are 24 extreme races which I
will compete in over the coming years.
Charities
Every country I run across or
extreme race I compete in will be helping me raise money
for children’s charities. The following charities below
are just a few that I have worked with on previous
challenges:
Bryan Gunn
Leukaemia Appeal
Two-year-old Francesca, the daughter of one of Norwich
City FC's greatest players Bryan Gunn, died from
leukaemia in the autumn of 1992. Bryan decided to set up
the Leukaemia Appeal with the Dove Trust in April 1993.
I believe a disease that has taken the lives of children
needs charities like Bryan's. These charities help raise
awareness and try to find a cure to stop the suffering.
They also provide equipment and education so children
and their families can deal better with the disease.
RadioBroadlandKidz
RadioBroadlandKidz raises money to help disadvantaged
youngsters in Norfolk and North Suffolk. The charity
works with local organisations to improve young people’s
opportunity, independence, ability, choice and
confidence.
MEND
The MEND Programme is a fun, effective and practical
lifestyle solution focused on families with overweight
or obese children. The key to its success is an
integrated approach, combining all of the elements known
to both treat obesity effectively and ensure long
lasting results.
