Father to three amazing kids. 10 years ago I fell in love with challenging myself physically and mentally as a balance to my busy job in the city. Since then I have I have summited Kilimanjaro twice, made it to Everest case camp and threw in two London marathons along the way. In 2015 my life was so full of stuff that I felt made me happy.

Three young kids, travelling the world with work and happily married with Nicki. I made the decision I wanted to do something for me and a friend of mine told me about the Steve Prescott Group doing Kilimanjaro and I jumped at it. Something fundamentally changed in me during my time on Kilimanjaro.

I found an inner peace and a feeling of complete mental tranquility that I had never experienced before and weirdly I think it gave me the mental tools and strength that I would need in later life when grief visited me twice. There is something about the isolation of being on a mountain disconnected from the world that feeds my soul like nothing else has ever fed it
