Lenny is 24 year and is from Pembrokeshire Wales. He has ADHD, having been diagnosed at 10 years old.

He served 4 years in an infantry front line battalion and completed 2 tours of Afghanistan whilst being there.  After his fourth year  he moved to Manchester and studied a Nursing Degree which he completed. Lenny is very happy that he chose this career path.

Lenny says “Growing up wasn’t at all easy to express my feelings for liking Men, I grew up in a rural town with hardly anything around. No gay scene, gay pride or anything that supports LGBTQ+ .

Joining the BEAR group for me has opened up many opportunities to meet many amazing like minded individuals  and I cannot thank the team at BEAR enough  for the amazing opportunities to get involved in such a loving wonderful community. Which brings me onto my next thing which was Competing for MR CUB UK 2024. What an experience, for me. It isn’t the winning that matters most but it was the sense of belonging I had throughout the entire experience. Like I said, from growing up with no support around me, this experience was a great deal for my confidence and feeling of self worth.

If you see me around be sure to say hello! Im an easy going person with love for everyone and everything!
