CURRENT MISSION

In life you can fail and survive. Let that white hot feeling of failure wash over you and keep going. It is not the end of the world, however much it feels like it.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I have seen some amazing places around the world, met some amazing, friendly people and seeing those less fortunate in wealth without a care in the World and smiling wide - it definitely taught me a lesson about life.

I do loads of volunteering, from mentoring young adults to help them get back into employment, helping out the old aged, even if its just talking to them - they are the most inspirational people I have ever met.

I did the London Marathon last year and raised considerable amount of money for Barnardo's (a charity for children)
