“I love being outdoors and exploring our natural environment. Whether it be our coastlines, forests or hills, I find that it keeps me grounded and provides a sense of perspective. Time can be a barrier, but making the time will set me up for success both physically and mentally.
 
My family inspires me to be active. Sharing experiences with them is a massive motivator because it makes us all feel great. The risks and physical and mental challenges of the outdoors provides an amazing playground and ‘classroom’.”
