Simon's mental, physical and emotional health were in a dire state, he ballooned in weight, was drinking heavily and was addicted to painkillers. At the age of 40 he reached out for help and was supported by his counsellor at the time to go back to a sport he loved as a child.. running, from there the rest is history and it was a turning point in his life.  He is an IRONMAN having raced at Wales in 2018 and now wants to help others by telling his story of how sport has helped him to recover his life.
