Warning - Do Not Watch if you're Squeemish
A year ago, I never imagined I'd be sharing this video.
At 39 years old, I collapsed while running on a treadmill. One moment I was training, the next my life changed completely.
The months that followed were tough. Tests, uncertainty, surgery, and a lot of time to think.
One thing became very clear...
Health isn't something you can take for granted.
If I'm lucky enough to get the all-clear, I'm not wasting the second chance I've been given.
Over the next year, I'm taking on the biggest challenge of my life, training to become an Ironman.
This page isn't about pretending to be an athlete. It's about documenting the ups, the downs, the setbacks, and hopefully proving that it's never too late to change the direction of your life.
If my story inspires just one person to look after themselves, book that check-up, or make a positive change, then sharing the most difficult moment of my life will have been worth it.
This is Day One. Let's get to work. π
