• About me – I’m a guy who is devoted to his family and also his love of sport, mainly golf, although since Hope 66, cycling has also started to take over my life! I am still however trying to master golf after 16 years of trying; this obviously proves I’m an enthusiastic with a determined character

Having taken part in the GM Fundraising Hope 66 cross US challenge, I feel it’s only right to get involved again, and also, for what will no doubt be the biggest sporting challenge of my life, so far. But most importantly, it’s the chance once again to give something back to the kids of Hope House

Just like last time, I have a few fears that mainly involve injury and the thought of letting the team down. 

Once again, I expect to be part of a great team and experience a challenge of a lifetime and look forward to the camaraderie and team spirit, but not I am not looking forward to the 97,000 feet of hills and will be taking extra padded shorts.
