Age: 41

Songs for playlist: Radio 4 if we can tune in, if not I will annoy my

​

fellow rowers with conversation.



​Rowing Experience: none​​

​

Biggest Fear on the boat: Sun burn



Reason for Participating in NOMAN:

​

"I want to be part of an endurance challenge that has never been

​

done before. NOMAN gives me the opportunity to be a pioneer

​

in a team setting.I was first inspired by the sheer physical and mental

​

scale of this row, since giving up rugby late last year I have missed being

​

a part of a team and practising towards an event and a goal. In recent

​

weeks my motivations have changed a little and the more time I have

​

spent with Tristan the more I have got an understanding of the issues

​

around HPV, be it the lack of attention it is getting, the stigmas

​

associated with HPV or the lack of uniformity in immunisation projects.

​

I am very excited about this adventure, slightly worried about sea

​

sickness and sun burn and now really focussed on raising enough money

​

to tackle some of the projects the foundation has set as targets."
