Name

Age

26

What I get paid to do

Medical Research Scientist - investigating how a malaria infection causes anaemia

Favorite food

Steak and Ale pie with homemade chunky chips

Ultimate hero and why

Bruce Willis – the only person able to say ‘yipee kie aye’ and still look hard

What I don’t get paid to do

Running, squash, DIY, socialising (involving beer, pies and friends) 

Special qualities (what I bring to the team)

Excessive talker, incredibly funny, very good looking and able to handle more than 4 pints of beer 

Why? (am I doing this ridiculous challenge??)

It’s a great opportunity to be able to support our charity by walking to one of the least visited places on the planet. Despite the physical and mental challenges, it will also be a good laugh, I mean how often do you get to go away with a couple of mates to a place where you’re guaranteed an ice cold lager?
