“Ask anyone that knows me well about the kind of person I am, and they’ll tell you that I love banter and encouraging others. That is true.

I was scouted by West Ham (forced withdrawal), got myself into boxing and taekwando – learnt discipline and respect. I needed something that […]

“RWP has been so much more than just a local running group. RWP has been an amazing and welcoming group of guys from all sorts of backgrounds who come together with a common goal and vision; to promote dialogue surrounding mental health issues and social stigmas.
