ME.

In 2018 I tragically lost my mum out of nowhere, suddenly she was no longer with us. Suffering with PTSD since childhood this took a huge amount of strength from within to deal with, I turned to alcohol which fuelled my childhood demons once again, after half a year of fighting myself something from within made me realise I hadn't fought for 30 odd years to gain strength of my PTSD for it to be taken right back to the depths. I promised myself December 2018 I would turn my life around and be the best person I could ever dream of. That journey one year later has been life changing .

WHAT DO I WANT TO ACHIEVE?

I want to prove no matter what demons we carry, we can train our mind and our body's to be the ultimate strength from within and aspire to any challenges we put Infront of ourselves no matter what . Help other people find there way and show just how good this world can be when you put everything you have into something your truly dedicated about and become the greatest version of you possible.

WHAT CHANGES AM I MAKING?

I am making the change to create my body and my mind into something stronger than it's ever been. No backing down 110% into every step along the journey , I've changed my entire diet to a very balanced one leaning towards plant base, with literally a treat of meat once in a blue moon. Every training day and food plan has been monitored for results . This has served me well and helping me conquer my challenges and goals going from 84kg last year down to now 63kg and the most athletic build I've been since my teens/20s when I was boxing.

MY PLAN FOR 2019 AND BEYOND.

My plans for 2019 were to start training and getting fit again, I started by signing upto the Cateran yomp, i trained from December 2018 upto the event in June 2019 where I came in with a gold finish and proved to myself I can achieve anything i put my heart soul and dedication into. Since June I've completed paras 10 catterick under the 1hr50 pass time, and around 8 other events to which recently I've started entering trail events between tabbing and starting to come in top finish positions so the year has truly been a success.

MY PERSONAL PROMISE.

I promise myself and my mum god rest her soul that no matter the demons within or the PTSD I will continue to strive forward with training my heart out and becoming the most elite version of myself possible! I want to show we can live with PTSD and still achieve our dreams by becoming mentally and physically fit as possible. Heres to smashing down barriers and helping others achieve that dream 👊💪
