“Where do I even begin! 20 years have passed since the doctors said I was dead.

To celebrate 20 years of life after death, I’ve put together this note to self and as and when I find myself back here, I’m sure it will serve as a light in the dark. For all the highs and lows along my journey, I look back and think what a trip it has been.

Thank you to the characters I have met along the way and much love to the ones still helping me write this book.

For anyone who may find themselves struggling mentally, help is available via Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) at –

A Light In The Dark BMX Jam

There’s always a good reason to throw a BMX jam. Bringing riders together for a day of bikes and good times is always a good idea. But, there’s also a lot of other great reasons to throw a BMX jam. Nik Ford recently threw the 3rd annual A Light In The Dark BMX Jam over in the U.K that helps bring awareness and support for the C.A.L.M program that is focused on helping to prevent suicide with young adults. It’s a good cause like this that deserves any support it can get, and Nik put in the work to make it happen. Check out some words from Nik and photos from the day below!
