My Journey.
I have a problem with alcohol. I’ve had it for years, I just didn’t really understand it.
For a long time I thought everything was fine. From the outside it probably looked normal, but I was stuck in the same vicious cycle without realising it.
After leaving school in 2019 I was 118kg, playing rugby, drinking a lot and not really looking after myself. In 2020 I started to get fitter, but nothing really changed.
The next few years were more of the same. Living for the weekend and telling myself I was happy.
Start of 2024 I hit the lowest point in my life where I couldn’t ignore it anymore. I hurt a lot of people. I was embarrassed of myself and knew I had to change. That’s when I asked for help and stepped away from that life.
Running became more than just fitness for me. It gave me structure and something to hold onto while I figured things out.
I’m still working it out, but I’m in a different place now.
This is why I run.
This is just the beginning.

179KM. 24HOURS. ONE REASON.
I went out and ran through pain, darkness, silence and sunrise but not once was I alone. This was all for one purpose.
@fullbelliesnz is the reason.
The harsh reality is that there are children in our own back yard that go to school hungry. The work full bellies is doing to help our children in need is nothing short of incredible and is absolutely inspiring to say the least. Thank you guys for doing what you do!
Thank you to my crew, my family, my friends and everyone that got behind me and supported the run. I am overwhelmed and forever grateful for everything.
Not for records, not for medals.
All for one Purpose.

The run that changed everything.
23 December 2024 — my first 100km.
This wasn’t just a long run.
It was the moment I realised how much I’d changed.
At the start of 2024 I was lost, making bad decisions and heading nowhere fast.
By the end of the year, I was 100km deep proving to myself that I was capable of more.
This run taught me a lot about myself.
How to keep going when things get hard.
How powerful consistency can be.
How far belief can actually take you.
100km later and I wasn’t the same person anymore.
Sometimes the biggest runs aren’t about pace or distance.
They’re about becoming someone you’re proud of.

Workout recap
Unsure how I feel about talking to the camera,let alone when I’m not performing. Thought I’d step out of my comfort zone and try something different. Is it something I should do more?
