I am passionate about staying physically active and maintaining a disciplined lifestyle. I consistently run each week and train in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, a martial art I've been practicing for over 18 months, having competed in two tournaments so far. I have completed several running challenges since 2021 to raise money for Movember. Through these efforts, I have raised over £2,000 in support of men's testicular and prostate cancer.
