Reaching A Billion People With A Message

What am I talking about? I’m talking about walking out my front door, starting running, and don’t come back home until I have run the circumference of the Earth – a little over 40,000km.

Not only that but to warm up to run such an expressive distance, I am currently running 2,500 km across the UK in support of the UNICEF Ukraine Crisis Appeal. Once I complete the UK run, I will start running through Europe, then onwards to the Middle East, South East Asia and finishing in the USA. There’ll be philanthropic events and workshops to teach mindful running and active meditation.

There will also be research conducted by the University of Westminster. All in all, it’s going to be a busy few years. But to understand why that’s happening, we have to start at the beginning. We have to talk about Childhood Trauma. About my sons. And about focusing on the next 15 minutes.

Mission To Reach a Billion People With My Messages.

I had a few traumatic experiences when I was younger. They had a real and profound effect on me. Only, I didn’t realise it at the time. In fact, I didn’t even realise it until about 30 years later. I was going through a tough time and started my first running challenges in Asia to resolve my mental health issues. A deep spiritual transformation led me to the realisation that I had unresolved traumas from my childhood that continued to affect me every single day. And these manifested themselves in me through stress, anxiety and overwhelm.

I started learning about it more, and I discovered a wider definition of trauma and that as a parent, if we don’t heal our past traumatic experiences, we will pass it on to our children.  It was at that moment I learned I was repeating the cycle of what my parents passed on to me and what their parents passed on to them. And that upset me. So I decided that would change. That the cycle would stop with me. That my sons would be inspired to live a better life.
