It’s a privilege to use the human body to explore the world the way we were meant to through nature, movement, and challenge.

Climbing mountains, swimming oceans, running trails, rowing, riding for miles I’ve been incredibly fortunate to experience life this way across so many different sports.

Cycling, Ironman triathlon, trail running, rowing every one of them has reminded me not to take the body for granted and to appreciate what it’s capable of.

And over the last nine months especially, I’ve gained an even deeper appreciation for everything my body has allowed me to do.

Sometimes it’s only when your physical freedom changes that you truly realise what a gift it is to move, explore, endure, and feel fully alive.

Some races you choose. Some races choose you.

3 years ago, a phone call on a quiet Florida beach changed everything.

A Parkinson’s diagnosis at age 48 didn’t end my story. It gave me a new start line.

Today, I’m proud to announce that I'll be serving as the IRONMAN Foundation’s Parkinson’s Advocate & Featured Athlete for 2026. You’ll see me on the start line of Ironman 70.3 Puerto Rico,Ironman 70.3 Chattanooga and both the IRONMAN & IRONMAN 70.3 World Championship races.

Every mile I race this season will raise funds for the IRONMAN Foundation’s "Bikes for Kids" & "Swim Ready" programs, putting bikes & swim lessons into the lives of kids who need them.

Parkinson’s taught me that forward motion isn’t just physical. It’s a choice you make every single day.

Let’s move forward together.

make it fun or don’t do it

Lanzarotes winds were unforgiving! Captured by @jamesmitchell5 🎥

Inspired words by @diewithoutregretss 🫘

Gratitude.

I just need to be outside.

No walls. No limits. Just space.

Nature strips everything back no noise, no judgment, no past. Just what’s real.

And the older I get, the more I feel it.

The more I appreciate it.

Not just the freedom but the fact I’m able to experience it at all.

Gratitude for a body that can still move. That can carry me through open space. That can feel the ground, the wind, the air properly.

The first time I stepped out after years inside, I felt it straight away. Not just freedom, but connection.

Like I wasn’t separate from it anymore I was part of it.

And that’s what stays with me.

That this isn’t guaranteed. That being able to move, to breathe, to be out here it’s something to respect and never take for granted.

Just being here, while I can.

All Day, Every Day.💥

New bike. Same legs. Locking in.

It’s all the simple things now: stacking days, consistency, monotony, discipline, and commitment.

I waited years to ‘reward’ myself with a bike upgrade until I deemed my legs and my effort worthy of it, so now the hard work starts maintaining that.

This September I’m proud to be releasing my new book📕

My first book, Redemption, which is currently under option to be turned into a feature film with a very accomplished US film producer, was very much about my past.

This new book is different. This one is about the present about how I’ve taken those experiences and used them in a positive way to shape the life I’m living today.

This process has been about navigating life through the experiences I’ve had and the people I’ve met who’ve shaped who I’ve become.

It’s forced me to reflect deeply on where I’ve come from, the decisions I’ve made, and the lessons I’ve learned along the way.

From the very beginning, this wasn’t just about writing a book it was about digging deep and being honest about my journey. There were moments where it felt tough but that’s all part of the process.

This book represents a new chapter in my life. It’s about how I’ve ended up where I am today, everything that’s led me here, and the growth that’s come with it.

Looking back now, I can see how much this journey has shaped me. This book isn’t just words on a page it’s a part of my story, my growth, and everything I’ve learned along the way.

I can’t wait to finally share it with you this September.
