when one has had a major health scare as happened to me life is the most important factor in anyones agenda. Life is health and fitnessAs a farmer and officeholder of the National Farmers Union I have inspired many to improve their health status by following my example. After suffering a heart attack 4 years ago I took up running have raised thousands for charity lost 3.5 stone. I`m 61 years old and have just completed my first marathon (in 4:03) which was a goal I set myself after joining the Halifax Harriers AC. Farming is a very isolated and insular vocation and if I can overcome life threatening obstacles having previously being a couch potato then anyone can. I see myself as a health ambassador for the industry. If I was to be selected I would maximise the publicity in support of my aims to improve the health and fitness of farmers everywhere
