Why Project Purpose exists and the journey that started it all.

Purpose is
the ambition to
drive forward.
This is bigger than the finish line.
In October 2026, I will cycle approximately 980 miles from John O'Groats to Land's End in 7 days to raise vital funds and awareness for the Royal Navy & Royal Marines Charity.
But this is only the beginning. Project Purpose is about building a legacy that inspires, unites and creates real change.
