The Paralympic champion then spent the morning with the college’s sports students, challenging them on rowers, bikes and treadmills to maximise distances and stamina. Gregg’s participation in the Santa Walk formed part of his 12-Day Fitness Challenge. The initiative invites individuals of all fitness levels to partake in daily exercises to promote health and wellbeing during the holiday season.
