I never thought I’d be writing this.
For years, my body felt like it was failing me.
Rugby had been my anchor — it gave me structure, boundaries, respect, and a sense of family I didn’t have growing up. When repeated injuries ended my rugby career, I didn’t just lose a sport… I lost the framework that held my life together.
What followed was rapid weight gain, failed relationships, IBS so severe it controlled my life, and years of being told “that’s just how it is.”
Food became something I feared — yet it also became my emotional crutch. My world got smaller. My confidence disappeared.
In 2024, things took a terrifying turn. I was diagnosed with a rare blood cancer. I spent weeks on a hospital ward having pints of blood removed and had to sit my children down and tell them I was dying. Michelle was by my side through every moment.
Then the truth came out — it wasn’t cancer.
In January 2025, I was finally diagnosed with MS.
That could have been the end of the story — but it wasn’t.
Through gut support, ozone support, trauma therapy, and rebuilding my body step by step, I’ve taken my life back. I live with MS — but it no longer defines me.
Today:
• I train four times a week
• I’ve lost 7 stone
• I’m stronger, more mobile, and more hopeful than I’ve been in years
None of this has been about a “cure.”
It’s been about supporting my body to heal in its own way — and choosing, every single day, to fight for my life.
If you’re feeling dismissed, unheard, or stuck in your body — I see you.
And there is another way forward.
