As part of Olympic year 2012, I invented "extreme hockey dribbling". To date, I've raised well over £62,000 for various charities. It all started with a 5hr 30min dribble around the London Marathon raising money for WellChild. Things were to get far more ludicrous in 2014 when we decided to dribble hockey balls up and down the 3 highest peaks of the British Isles. With a fantastic support team, we raised nearly £10,000. The most random thing of all? ........ Radio interviews on BBC5 Live halfway up Scafell Pike.         

 Here is the video of the challenge. 


 

I was bitten by the bug!

Despite advancing years, I was back in 2017 supporting Hockey4Heroes as we embarked on 'Operation Stretcher.' 200 miles of dribbling from Cardiff to London whilst the H4H team carried Dom Lovett, a former marine now paraplegic all the way on a stretcher. (as well as playing 3 games a day at various clubs on route).

2019, the year of the amazing Op Olympus! Documented in detail elsewhere, dribbling a hockey ball high on the Annapurna range in the Himalayas. And in 2022 and 2024, The London Marathon. I'm raising funds for Alzheimers research supporting my dear old Mum and friend Imran Sherwani and many others. both my Mum and Imran have been diagnosed with dementia. It seems that everyone is somehow directly or indirectly affected by this horrible disease.
