My Story

I will be climbing Mount Toubkal - the highest Peak in North Africa, for EY Foundation. An insprational charity that supports disadvantaged young people from across the UK - it really helps change peoples lives.

I have paid for every single expenses related to this challenge myself. So every penny of your donation goes directly to charity.
 
For context - at Christmas I weighed 20 stone. And I have done no exercise of any kind since I was very young. At Christmas 2025 I decided something had to change. I recieved an email in work about an EY hike in Morocco in June 2026 and decided I would use this opportunity to train, lose weight, get fit and raise money for under priviledged young people in the UK.
 
I set myself a goal, and for the past 5 weeks I have been gradually increasing my physical activity. Walking on the treadmill x3 per week, going to the gym x2 per week and hiking every Sunday with my parents.
 
This will be a seriously big hill for me to climb (no pun intended) in terms of fitness, as I am starting at baseline zero!!
 
Any donation no matter how small is appreciated
