Luke Grenfell-Shaw is an incredibly inspiring individual! Diagnosed with stage 4 cancer at the age of 24, he decided to embark on an extraordinary journey to show that life can still be rich and fulfilling even with cancer.

Luke began his Bristol 2 Beiking expedition in January 2020, cycling from Bristol to Beijing on a tandem bike. Despite the challenges of the COVID pandemic, he completed the 30,000 km route, raising over £150,000 for cancer-related charities.

Luke coined the term "CanLiver" to describe people living with cancer who continue to live life to the fullest. He shared his journey with 817 people, including 25 CanLivers.

Luke is working on a book and a documentary about his expedition, expected to be released in early 2024.

I went to Parkrun in May 2019 asking if it was ok to walk because “I have a permanent back injury so can’t run”. I did the Lakeland Trails 55k last year and have hopefully got a couple more 50k races lined up this year

Matt Field is an inspiring ultra-runner who recently made headlines by setting a new British 24-hour running record! On August the 24th/25th, 2024, he covered an impressive 281.303 km (174.787 miles), surpassing the previous record of 277.439 km (172.292 miles) set by Robbie Britton. This achievement also set a new world lead for 2024.

What's even more remarkable is that Matt only started running two years ago. He began his journey to get healthier and lose weight and quickly progressed to ultra-running. Matt's dedication and rapid progress are truly inspiring!
