CURRENT MISSION
Dancing across the USA from Santa Monica, L.A. to New York, beginning in Easter 2018 by following Route 66 through to Chicago. Every step I take will be under my own steam, and I'll carry all my kit and provisions in a buggy trailing behind me as I dance. And I'll be wearing a neon yellow tutu as I go.

ABOUT ME
I'm a 40-year old teacher and lecturer from London. I work at the UCL Institute of Education and lead an initial teacher education PGCE course in Citizenship education (a combination of politics, law, human rights, media, global issues and more). In my spare time I enjoy dancing long distances for charity - in the past this has included dancing across the UK and dancing for 5 days, 15 hours non-stop.
