He did the 3 Peaks Challenge at 16 and broke the record for the youngest person to do it solo- raising £1700 for two worthy charities.My passion for the outdoors will grow even more I'm climbing Mont Blanc next year (highest peak in Europe) I'm also climbing the 'Old Man of Hoy' with celebrity climber Tim Emmett. When I get my dream job as a conservationist I can help the animals I adore. I'll transfer my burning passion to their protection. When funds permit I'll climb Kilimanjaro and the Everest-my ultimate goal. My motto is 'Live the Dream'. I have no dreams- only goals as every dream can come true if you work hard. Along the way I'll raise more for worthy charities and I've already inspired other people to aim high and try new things- friends have asked if I'll do the 3 Peaks with them next year. I certainly will! Life is short- so I'll achieve as much as I can!
