Ollie’s journey has been tougher and more testing than anyone could imagine.
It started back in September 2017 with the devastating diagnosis that he had a malignant brain tumour.
Just months before, Ollie had moved from his home in Cornwall for a new life in Belfast as a personal trainer.
Being a personal trainer had been a dream of his since he was 14 and to be handed a diagnosis of cancer at the age of 21 and be told he potentially had just five years to live was a crushing blow.
“I was heartbroken, obviously. But it was quite a numb emotion I was feeling.
“Surgery isn’t really a valid option for me, given where the brain tumour is located. The consultant said it’s just too risky,especially given my age.
“The likes of chemotherapy and radiotherapy aren’t really options either because it’s just so risky and I’m just so young.”
Ollie’s health suffered and his symptoms were at their worst at the end of 2017, meaning he struggled to work such long hours and had to scale back his work training clients in his 168 Coaching business.
It was then he started sharing his journey on his Project Beat Cancer Instagram account to show the true face of battling a disease like cancer.
“I put my story out on social media, largely because I wanted to be honest, particularly with my clients.”
Since his diagnosis, his focus has been on getting healthy, eating a nutrient-rich diet and putting his body, his mind and his immune system in the best place possible to fight the disease.
Not just that, but he has been raising money, raising awareness and forging ahead to prove that cancer is not the end. His website is www.project-168.co.uk
Now I’m just trying to inspire, motivate and inform people.
“I’m a believer in that we all have a purpose. I know I’ve been dealt a bad hand with cancer, I now have a purpose to inspire and bring awareness about cancer.”
Twelve weeks ago, Ollie decided he wanted to start an online body transformation to inspire his clients and people following his journey about what is possible when you stop making excuses.
