He’s even featured on the cover of Men’s Health.</p> <p><br></p> <p>But, this is not where it started.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Born and raised in an abusive poverty ridden household, Scott began his life between Glasgow and Salford. He recognised that he needed to improve his chances of a better quality life so joined the police force after studying.</p> <p><br></p> <p>He worked his way to senior detective roles often working covert and anonymously on some of the UK’s most heinous crimes including child sexual offences. </p> <p><br></p> <p>In 2017, in a pursuit to appease his itch for fitness, common good and entrepreneurialism he founded Battle Cancer with the goal of creating a community that uses fitness to support cancer survivors, patients, and their families. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Battle Cancer is an organization that harnesses the power of fitness to support those affected by cancer.</p> <p><br></p> <p>The organization has since grown into a global movement that hosts events and fundraisers across the world, all with the aim of raising awareness and funds for cancer research and support. Battle Cancer now partners with NIKE, Whoop and Nocco all because of Scott’s tenacity.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Scott is now a sought-after speaker and educator, known for his infectious enthusiasm and unwavering commitment to his cause. He has been featured in numerous publications and media outlets, including Men's Health, Women's Health, and the BBC.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Whether he's coaching clients one-on-one, organizing a Battle Cancer event, or speaking to a packed audience, Scott's mission remains the same: to inspire and empower individuals to take control of their health and their lives, and to show that with the right mindset, anything is possible.</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p>Extra Stuff: </p> <p><br></p> <p> Follow vybey on Instagram</p> <p><br></p> <p> Instagram -</p> <p><br></p> <p>[https://www.instagram.com/vybey.uk/](https://www.youtube.com/redirect?even...)</p> <p><br></p> <p>-</p> <p><br></p> <p>Get in touch </p> <p><br></p> <p>Get in touch in the comments below or head to...</p> <p>Instagram:</p> <p><br></p> <p>[https://www.instagram.com/](https://www.youtube.com/redirect?even...</p> <p><br></p> <p>Twitter:</p> <p><br></p> <p>[https://www.twitter.com/](https://www.youtube.com/redirect?even...</p> <p><br></p> <p>Email:</p> <p><br></p> <p>davidjuniormcintosh@gmail.com</p>
