My Story

I'm ticking off a BIG bucket list task right now... running a marathon!

London Marathon, Sunday 2nd October 2022

This is going to need some HUGE efforts from me to get ready in time so I'd love some HUGE support from anyone willing to help me through it!

I'm proud to be running on behalf of Disability Rights UK, a charity ran by someone I met through CrossFit. You all know how much CrossFit and it's community means to me so any support shown here will also be shown for the incredible CrossFit community! We rise by lifting othes ;)

Disability Rights UK is the UK’s leading organisation directed and run by Disabled people.

Our Vision is of a society where Disabled people have equal power, rights and equality of opportunity.

We campaign for the rights of all Disabled people to be included in every aspect of life, and our work is more vital now than at any time. Disabled people have had hard-won rights curtailed or even removed during the Covid pandemic, the most serious manifestation of which was the placing of ‘Do Not Resuscitate’ notices on people without their knowledge, much less consent. The cost of living crisis is exacerbating the struggle many Disabled people have to live with choice and dignity.

We bring the lived experiences of Disabled people to everything we do and we will campaign for our rights as long as we need to, until we achieve a society which is just, fair and equal for all.
