“You die with your child…and you don’t ever get it back”.

Michael and his family have always been “outdoorsy” but since Josh’s death, being outside has “played a huge part in coping with the loss”.

He has gone on to raise thousands of pounds for the Great Western Air Ambulance Charity who treated Joshua on the day he was attacked, giving Michael and his family the vital hours to say goodbye to him.

Michael said he felt “really fortunate, in a strange way that we were gifted those few hours.”

In the last year, Michael has climbed a number of mountains and attempted a six-day ultra running challenge across Wales, known as the Dragon’s Back Race.

His latest expedition, the Welsh 3,000s, will help raise money for the charities who have supported him, including the men’s bereavement charity StrongMen.

“One of the biggest challenges that I found was my sense of purpose, being a dad, being a man disappeared but I have found by helping others it has given me a purpose again.”
