Competitive Gymnastics At 33 | Ep 170

On Saturday, 6 June, at the British Team Championships, I successfully performed a horizontal bar routine—five years after retiring from men's artistic gymnastics.

At 33 years old, I wanted to challenge myself and question some of the traditional beliefs that are often accepted within the gymnastics community. This journey was about proving that limitations are not always where we think they are and that meaningful goals can still be achieved long after stepping away from competitive sport.

My inspiration for taking on this challenge came from two incredible charities: Parkinson's UK and the Samaritans. Through this effort, I am aiming to raise £2,000 to support the vital work these organisations carry out every day across the UK, helping people affected by Parkinson's and mental health challenges.

If you would like to support this cause, please consider making a donation through my GiveWheel fundraising page, which can be found via the link in my Instagram bio or YouTube description.

Thank you to everyone who has already donated and supported me throughout this journey. Your generosity and encouragement have meant a great deal.

This is my story.
