60/Sixty
Refusing to age quietly
Sixty isn't a crisis.
It's an invitation.
We live in a culture that quietly tells us:
- slow down,
- play safe,
- stop growing.
I don't believe that's true.
I believe growth, courage and obedience have no age limit.
So during my sixtieth year, I'm attempting sixty challenges that stretch me physically, mentally, spiritually and emotionally.
Some I'll complete.
Some I'll fail.
But every one of them will teach me something.
I have turned 59!
I have entered my 60th year!
So I'm attempting sixty challenges in my sixtieth year.
Some will inspire me.
Some will terrify me.
All of them will change me.
1. The Augustine Camino (4-Day Trek)
The Route: Rochester Cathedral → Canterbury Cathedral → Ramsgate.
A pilgrimage across Kent covering history, reflection, and endurance over 4 continuous days.
2. London Olympic Triathlon 2027
Taking on a 1.5km swim, 40km cycle, and 10km run in London. This challenge hits close to home—I am raising funds and awareness for two incredible causes where two of my children work: Headway Kent and Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF).
Training and equipping for an Olympic-distance triathlon is a huge undertaking. To get across the finish line, I’m looking for partners and supporters to join the journey:
- Bike Loan / Sponsorship: Seeking the loan of a road/triathlon bike (or kit sponsorship) for the 12-month training period.
- Personal / Charity Sponsorship: Direct support to help offset training costs and boost our fundraising goals for Headway Kent & MAF.
Upcoming Ideas Being Planned
- 01. Bluewater Zipwire: Braving one of the longest and fastest zip lines in the UK.
- 02. 3-Month Bible Livestream: Reading through the entire Bible cover-to-cover live over 90 days.
- 03. Friendship Dinner Series: Hosting a series of targeted dinner parties to reconnect with friends old and new.
Have a Challenge for Me?
Got an idea that will push me physically, mentally, spiritually, or emotionally?
The Pitch Rules:
- It must be something I’ve never done before (parachute jump and bungee jump are already ticked off!).
- If your idea incurs a financial cost, consider making a donation to offset it or support the charity partners.
