On, August 31st 2014, I ran out of the Atlantic Ocean at Henties Bay, Namibia.  After 89 days and 3,974km, I eventually ran into the Indian Ocean at Pemba in Mozambique.  This run was the toughest thing I have done in my life.  Below are links to blogs I have written about the run, some photos and a map of the tracker that I took with me.

​After running across Africa, many people asked if I was going to write a book about it.  Honestly, writing is not a huge strength of mine but drawing and painting are!

I decided it would be fantastic to create a children's book based on my run to inspire kids to believe in themselves and dream big.  I loved every minute of creating this book and it's not available to purchase here.
