In my spare time I have recently completed a major renovation of a Victorian property and am involved in several charities. I chair the Heart Research, Wales charity which aims to promote education and research in Wales and annually undertakes missions to Africa to help develop heart failure and pacing facilities in poorer countries (Pace4Life charity). I am a devoted father to my two children, and sadly, sporting activities these days are restricted to spectatorship and serving as a cardiologist for local football and rugby clubs.
