My Story
In 2024, I lost two incredible people — my best mate Alistair Walker and my work colleague Phil Tyson — both to cancer. In their memory, I’ll be taking on two big challenges this year. In June, I’ll be tackling the Total Warrior 2025 challenge at Bramham Park in Leeds — 12km and 25 gruelling obstacles — in honour of Phil. To me, Phil was a true warrior, and this event feels like a fitting tribute to his strength and spirit. Then in July, I’ll be climbing the UK’s highest mountain, Ben Nevis, standing at 1,345 metres. It’s a tough climb, but one with deep personal meaning. Back in our teenage years, Ali, our mate Ricky Hayes, and I visited Fort William. Ali and Ricky wanted to hike Ben Nevis, but with no gear and winter in full swing, I talked them out of it. Now, I’ll be making that climb for Ali — a way to honour his memory in the place we once stood together. Times are tough, I know, but if you can spare anything, please consider donating.
