As a former professional cricketer, insurance broker and independent school teacher whose life was torn to shreds by my pathological gambling addiction, I am determined to change the narrative for the next generation.
A need has developed within me to share my journey with young people and on Sunday 3rd October, I will be taking to the streets of London to be able to continue to do this with Team Mintridge. I hope to raise valuable funds for this hugely important charity as together, we will support the mental wellbeing of young people throughout the UK.
There will also be a calendar of online webinars along the route to the startline and we would love for you to join too:

The Mintridge Foundation is a registered charity dedicated to enhancing life skills in young people through sport. We provide a support network for young people by harnessing the power of positive sporting role models. The Mintridge Foundation assists young people of all ages, abilities and physical capabilities to develop confidence and resilience, and creates awareness of the importance of mental and physical wellbeing through sport.
Our team of Ambassadors - Olympians, Paralympians and other professional sports stars from over 20 sports, both team and individual - work with young people in schools, clubs and academies across the UK. Starting with visits including assemblies, coaching clinics and classroom sessions tailored to each organisation’s requirements, our ambassadors can then provide one- on- one remote mentoring in a safeguarded environment, delivered via technology such as Fitswarm and Playwaze to build a lasting legacy for individuals.
The Mintridge Foundation’s successes demonstrate the incredible power of sport; from a mentee’s selection to represent Great Britain in their chosen field to enabling disabled children to find confidence and happiness just through participation. Understanding life after sport, we also support our Ambassadors in their transition from active sport to the next stage of their careers.
