Dreaming of mountains has been a human pastime for thousands of years. Some people see them as Gods, others think of them as monsters, while most just see them on TV. I see them as a challenge.
A former Royal Engineer, a mountaineer and wilderness medic, I am no stranger to extreme conditions having been some of the world's most remote locations, including the Arctic, Central America, Indonesia, and the Himalayas. Most recently I have volunteered my time to South Central Ambulance Service as a Community First Responder.
When it comes to first aid in the community, there are not enough people that would know what to do in an emergency! Last November I helped man who had fallen off his bike. Not usually an event that would make the news, but this time it did. Read my First Aid page to find out why.

Steve Trister is going to ride a bike from London to Southend on 19th July this year to raise money for the British Heart Foundation and he wants people like you and me to sponsor him £1 that all, just £1 no more no less. Now, as a Community First Responder, I know what an amazing job the BHF does so I sent in my £1, now all Steve needs are another 999,999 of you to do the same and he's made a cool £1 million. Crazy? Probably! But as Steve says, "all the best people are crazy" Go on, be a little crazy too, click on the logo and give a quid!
