7 in 7 Series

This is my second Marathon but next year I am doing the London Marathon. Im also taking part in the Celebrity Bowls Tournament for MND. Also i am doing Leeds 10k, York 10k and Scarborough 10k. I am building my self to prove people i can do it and prove the haters wrong and finish the story. I am running in aid of two icons. Firstly, the great Rob Burrow. Without him and his advice I wouldn't be the Captain of Leeds Rhinos LDSL team, 'In a world full of adversity we must dare to dream'. His legacy will continue to inspire the whole MND community.

Secondly, my partner, Jenny. She keeps me on my feet and motivates me to never give up. Jenny has always been an advocate of the AT Society. This charity supports people with Ataxia-Telangiectasia, a condition which affected Jenny's older sister, Louise.

Throughout my fundraising efforts I am also raising money for the Leeds Rhinos Foundation and Macmillan Cancer Support. Both of these charities have supported myself and my family greatly, therefore they are held close to my heart.

Previously to raise money I have ran the Leeds and Morley 10k multiple times. In 2024 I decided to take on the mammoth challenge of the Rob Burrow CBE Marathon, to push myself further than I have ever been before, conquering it in 7 hours and 50 minutes!

As I look ahead to 2025 I will be doing the York 10k, Leeds 10k, Rob Burrow CBE Marathon and smashing the London Marathon too!

Any donations to support these four amazing charities would be greatly appreciated! All donations are divided equally between the MND Association, the Leeds Rhinos Foundation, AT Society, Leeds HospitalsCharity and Macmillan Cancer Support.
