Why do we stay active with ?
Because being fit isn’t just about the body—it’s about the mind too.
When I was 18, I lost my dad suddenly. Two years later, my mum was diagnosed with terminal cancer. By 22, she had passed away; I thought I handled it well, but I went from being a fit footballer to hitting 25 stone, relying on food and drink for comfort. It wasn’t until the penny dropped that I made changes. I focused on walking, reducing alcohol, and then running and dieting. That’s how I found a career in the military and a healthier life.
This year, I signed up for my first full marathon—26.2 miles of running, whilst Mark takes on the half marathon, taking place this Sunday in Stratford Upon Avon.
At Pathways, we encourage others to get active too. Huge thanks to the support from .coventry and everyone else!

Finally, our pathways fund allows us to help the lads in the group, keeping activities inclusive as well as providing financial support to those in need. Thanks to who sponsor our bootcamps and everyone who has donated to the fund. If you want to donate the link is in our bio.
