“Like everybody else in the country, I recognised that I had to change and make a difference. Whatever walk of life people are in, I think everybody is feeling the need for change every day. Fuel prices, the environment, climate change. They are all issues that are never far away. I knew I wasn’t going to make that difference in one day so I decided it was going to be a five year project for me to make a large change in my life.

“I still have a lot of change and progression to make in my life and I’m sure if you followed me every day you could pick holes in me. The reality is that this is a journey and it’s a journey I want to make and believe in; it’s a journey I believe we all have to make.”
