To inspire people in any way makes me feel quite amazing. I certainly hadn’t expected this kind of attention but to be a role model for any fellow human being is a remarkable sensation and I feel obligated to help wherever I can! My only concern is that I keep my feet on the ground and don’t push my own ego onto others – the journey towards an endurance sport goal is a very personal one, with numerous ups and downs along the way, and whilst support from outsiders is vital, the individual must be allowed to feel every success and strain themselves. I certainly know how I look back fondly on my journey and remember the emotions – raw at times – and now can feel a warm sense of achievement!
