Charity work
In 2010 I had a routine operation. This went wrong and I was in hospital for 3 months: almost dying of sepsis, I spent 8 weeks in an Intensive Care Unit.
Since then, I have cycled, run and raised money for a variety of charities and I am an ambassador to Sepsis and PTSD Awareness. In 2012 I was one of the 8000 Olympic Torchbearers, nominated for overcoming critical illness, raising money and being an inspiration within the community. I still occasionally speak publicly on the effects of sepsis and living with PTSD.
