Oct. 7, 2024 – Homelessness, alcoholism and a nervous breakdown are just some of the challenges a Stoke-on-Trent cyclist has had to overcome.

Phil James’s next challenge is to cycle the summit of Mount Snowdon four times in 24 hours, having used exercise as a form of addiction recovery over the last twelve months.

He is raising money for mental health charities Mind and M.A.T.E, and to show people experiencing a mental health crisis that there is hope.

“Hopefully I can show other people that they can get themselves out of the situation that they’re in without completely relying on medication,” he said.
