In 2023, Martin completed an epic Alps Hike in support of Youth Sport Trust raising over £3,500!
Here is what he said before the challenge:
"Growing up in an area of poverty in East London, I experienced the power and life benefits that could be gained from participating in sports.
"Sport continues to be a big part of my life, and now as a cancer sufferer I want to make a more meaningful contribution to the future of our young people.
"That's why I am walking the Grand Traverse des Alpes (GR5) from Lake Genève to Nice - 400 miles and a climb 3.6 times the size of Everest - gulp! I'm doing this to raise as much money as I can to provide children with the opportunity to participate in sports so that they can learn about life, about being part of a team, about winning and losing."
