She's the mother of Gabriella and flo . She is a freelance fitness instructor, she is a diet consultant promoting the keto diet , she has her own art project where she sells her art on etsy, after sharing photos of her colourful home she now has 4600 Instagram followers and has featured in home design magazines and has collaborated with top brands. She has recently joined a project called street friends in which she and her colleagues are looking after the homeless in Rotherham and worksop with food and clothing donations. In her own words she has always felt different and last week was diagnosed with ADHD. She feels the diagnosis has lifted a weight off her shoulders and she will be able to focus on her life . Thanks Rachael. Should be interesting to say the least

A really powerful and informative chat today with Justin Foote about his work raising awareness and money for prostate cancer UK and the importance of getting checked. Thanks mate .
Bulldog Bytes #29 sponsored by Avec Amour.

After a successful marathon walk with Sky Sports Presenter Jeff Stelling back in September 2019, I have now signed up to complete the following marathon walks supporting Prostate Cancer UK.

Jurassic Coast Challenge (42km) - Starting at Corfe Castle, then along the spectacular Jurassic Coast through Lulworth Cove past Durdle Door and all the way to Weymouth (Saturday 22nd May 2021).

Thames Path Challenge (50km) - Taking on England’s greatest river, we head upstream from Putney Bridge past Hampton Court to Runnymede of Magna Cart (Saturday 11th September 2021).

Kent County Cricket Club (42km) - A walk from Rainham Cricket Club to the St Lawrence Ground on a 20 / 20 night game in 2021 (To be Arranged).

Gillingham FC to Charlton Athletic FC - A walk that was scheduled for Saturday 13th February 2021 however unfortunately postponed due to the previous Government Guidance (To be Re-Arranged).

Easter 50 Challenge (50km) - A walk that was scheduled for Saturday 10th April however unfortunately postponed due to the previous Government Guidance - To be Re-Arranged for April 2022.

There maybe 1 or 2 more walks added to the above for 2021 in the next couple of months too??

Why I’m doing these walks??

In June 2020, it was thought that I had possible low level Prostate Cancer after a routine Blood & Urine Test at the London Bridge Hospital.

In addition, a very close friend who’s like a dad to me has been diagnosed with Stage 4 Prostate Cancer and want to further awareness / essential funds to help beat a disease that cure kills 1 man every 45 minutes in the UK and would really appreciate your support in a bid to fund research to change the game and stop Prostate Cancer being a killer.

Sunday morning I will be talking to Richard Nell. After watching a few of the previous interviews Richard contacted me feeling he should tell his families story. He and his lovely wife kara left the UK and settled in Australia. Soon along came kai. It became apparent that not all was right. After lots of consultations and no answers eventually kai was diagnosed with a form of leukemia. A long battle started including a bone marrow transplant from his baby brother . Unfortunately kai passed away which no parent should go through. After this he and kara felt they could help other families so have joined the kids cancer support group which richard is now president. This will be very emotional.
