Accomplishments
In 2018 I became the youngest person to ride a motorcycle from the top to the bottom of the World, starting in Prudoe Bay, Alaska and finishing in Ushuaia, Argentina. Travelling through 13 countries and covering nearly 35,000 miles. During this time I was lucky enough to meet many incredible people and experience many cultures, both teaching me to deal with adversity calmly and in a composed manner as well as maximise opportunities that were presented to me along the way too.
In 2023 I with a team set out to complete the 3 Peaks Challenge, aiming to summit Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Mt Snowdon all within 24 hours - raiding money for Cancer Research. As team leader, I took it upon myself to ensure everybody completed - this meant allowing 4 members of the team to hike ahead on our last summit so they could finish within the 24 hours whilst I stayed with one other who was struggling more so she could complete the 3 summits, finishing in a time of 24 hours 17 minutes. This was a physcially demanding challenge however my desire to ensure everybody finished outweighed my personal dersire to finish within the alloted time whilst having one of the team fail.
