My own life experience has made me resilient and given me a drive to make a difference. Adversity provides a perfect training ground for an endurance athlete.

By taking on some of the toughest endurance swims on the planet, I’ve experienced the transformative power of the sea and, in the process, I’ve shone a light on causes close to my heart.

I’m an endurance swimmer, a mental health advocate and suicide campaigner informed by my lived experience, and I’m on a mission to break down the stigma faced by those affected by these issues both in the UK and around the world…stroke by stroke.
