House of Commons!
What an absolute honour and privilege to have been invited by NASS to attend their annual awards ceremony at the House of Commons on April 1st, celebrating their incredible Changemaker Winners! Claire and I had a great time. Had some great conversations and even a few about my book. Thank you so much, NASS!
Sharing Dad’s birthday wine tasting made the perfect moment to give him the first copy of Hitting AS for Six. Thank you, Mum and Dad, for your unwavering support through the years!
Getting ready for Summer 2025!
I’ve been training hard through the winter under the watchful eye of my brilliant coach, Jason Jakeman. He assures me that the cold showers and the stiff, sore body afterwards will all be worth it! I’ve included a couple of videos below to show the effort I’ve been putting in. Training regularly and keeping my body moving-while also respecting how it reacts-is crucial for managing my disease.
Summer is around the corner. Practice and Recovery.
It was great to finally get outside for some training with Jason recently. The sunshine makes such a huge difference to how I feel. I’m learning to respect the process—putting in the work during training, and then giving my body the time it needs to recover.
Sports massage, physio, and acupuncture, along with my fortnightly immunosuppressant injection and daily anti-inflammatories, are all part of my routine. I try to swim three to four times a week and make use of the sauna, steam room, and cold showers to support recovery. Lately, I’ve also added high-strength turmeric shots to the mix.
