About Me:
I have been a member of YMCA Manchester since i was 16 years old have spent most of my adult life involved in the sport of wrestling, both on the mat myself and coaching the next generation of medal winners.
Following a successful spell coaching at the Y Club i was recruited by the British
Wrestling Association to create a programme of summer wrestling camps in the USA during the 1990s and i continue to develop the sport at a community club in Wythenshawe to this day
Please help me and my fellow wrestlers in our attempt to raise money for YMCA
Manchester’s Youth and Community projects. The Youth and Community team do great things for vulnerable and marginalised young people across
Manchester and Salford, including delivering Mental Health awareness work in local schools, Alternative curriculum provision, and providing support for young carers around their education employment and personal development needs.
