Background: I ran, cycled and climbed everywhere as a child, I have always been at my happiest whilst being active. For me, exercise has never been about winning, more about feeling better for it, clearing my head and allowing me to put things into perspective. I really enjoy mass events where everyone is in it together, doing their very best to succeed and achieve their own goals and I have been very lucky to take part in some fantastic events.
Most memorable sporting events:
Finishing the Parish walk with my friend, Katy.
Finishing 3 London Marathons, raising money for Manx charities.
Taking part in the Island Games and enjoying a whole week of being part of Team IOM, immersed in athletics and other sports.
Most proud of: My 3 children.
