Born in Kent, England but now live in the Rhondda Valleys in South Wales. I am a recreational runner and I work on the World’s fastest seated Zipline. I learnt to ride a bike at aged 42 and learnt how it feels to move through water at aged 52... I’m definitely a late starter! I now have a whole new dimension within my life and my dream of snorkeling a coral reef is finally within sight!
