He was crowned runner-up in the End 2020 Strong Challenge and won £250 in cash and £125 New You credit.  Here’s what he had to say about his amazing success so far… How do you think the plan has changed your life? Has your health improved? Massively. It was a struggle to get out of bed and get up the stairs and walking. I didn’t do anything. I was literally just eating and not moving. My mum has got a heart condition so that was a little bit of a wakeup call as well. My nan also had a heart condition and I thought ‘you’re heading in the same sort of way here. You’re just getting bigger, bigger and bigger.’ I no longer get chest pain and my health seems to have improved massively. I was probably also on th
