My Story

7 schools by age 14. Expelled at 15.

Growing up with my dad in the RAF meant constant moves — I was always the new kid on the block. By 14, I’d already been through 7 schools. Two weeks after my 15th birthday, a prank went wrong and I was expelled. No second chances. No guidance. No support.

In the chaos, rugby gave me purpose. It became my anchor — the place I learned discipline, teamwork, and resilience.

But I can’t help but think how different things might’ve been if I’d had the kind of structure and mentorship that @greenhousesports provides. A coach, a role model, a safe space — it could’ve changed the game for me.

Greenhouse Sports works with young people in underserved communities, placing full-time coaches in schools to use sport as a tool for engagement, mentorship, and personal growth. They help kids build confidence, develop life skills, and stay on the right path.

That’s why I’m running the London Marathon for Greenhouse Sports. To help kids like me get the support they deserve, when they need it most.

If you believe in the power of sport to change young lives, I’d be grateful for your support. Thank you.

Helping young people succeed through sport and mentoring.
