I am an active and enthusiastic sportsperson and am always looking for experiences outside of my comfort zone. I have successfully completed 11 x 26.1 mile running marathons over the last 5 years; including Melbourne, Sydney and Gold Coast (Australia), New York and Berlin. In August 2010, I completed a successful solo crossing of the English Channel and raised over $10,000 to aid young persons coping with mental illness for Orygen Youth Health, Australia. Six weeks later I ran the Berlin Marathon and two weeks after this completed my 11th Marathon in my home town Melbourne, Australia.
