Yup! The guy who's scared of heights is taking on the worlds fastest (and 500ft up!) zip line with three intrepid colleagues. A nice easy starter....LOL

Abseil Brighton i360

Ok, so this is insane. I'm scared of heights and I've agreed to abseil off something 450ft up in the air. I'm calling on other business leaders to join me.....

Run a Six Minute Mile

I'm not quite looking to replicate Roger but, I have set myself a target of running a six minute mile in the Autumn. There will be an audience....

I'm up for it, if you are!

If losing around 9 stone (57 kilos) within a year isn't enough for you to feel motivated to sponsor me then challenge me to do something else mad. If the money is right - i'll train for it. And i'll do it!

Have I?

Why I AM doing this...

It seems to me that every bit of news these days is bad. Maybe we’ve forgotten just how wonderful our country is, just how wonderful the people in it are, and our capacity for being a bit mad.

A few months ago I was morbidly obese. Today I’m just obese. But next year I plan on being fit, toned and healthy. Like all good sales people I need a target. I need to be challenged and I need a real reason to get my fat backside out there and train. The second half of 2025 has been consumed with losing weight. The year of 2026 will be consumed with training, scaring myself half to death, and getting fit again.

Can a 54 year old really go from 23 1/2 stone to running a six minute mile within a year?

Let’s find out!!

I’ll do everything I can to make sure he does. If you could find it in yourself to sponsor me, or join me on my quest, then it’s all for two amazing charities….
