My Personal and Family Life
I’m currently 46 and live in Northampton, England. I am married to the wonderful Lexi. We have been together for 28 years. We have three wonderful children, Lewis (21), Kira (18) and Oscar (11).
I enjoy sport, especially cricket and rugby. I also enjoy running and have done various running challenges to raise money for our eldest son Lewis who is severely disabled LifeforLewis.co.uk. Lewis’ severe disability has made an immeasurable impact on our family which I have documented on The Journey of a Special Needs Father by Gary Herbert. In 2021, I won Pride of Britain Fundraiser of the Year for the West Anglia Region by running 2021 miles in aid of the Northampton Hope Centre to help the homeless in Northampton. more details on Northamptonshire CCC website.
