I was christened Edward. My sister gave me the name Bear when I was a week old and it has stuck.

It breaks my heart that my father never knew my children. He should have been around for another 25 years.

I come from a line of self-motivated, determined folk - not grand, not high society, but no-nonsense, family-minded go-getters.

Being brave isn't the absence of fear. Being brave is having that fear but finding a way through it.

The difference between ordinary and extra-ordinary is so often just simply that little word - extra.

Sometimes an ember is all we need.

Juice Plus+ is great stuff that I have used through all of my expeditions. What I like about it is that the research behind it is so strong. It is 100% natural, is whole food based, and I love the fact that it provides raw, anti-oxidant fruit and veg in a capsule form. For me it fulfills a key part of my nutrition, training and recovery needs.
