Emmerdale actor James Moore recently undertook a challenging climb equal to the height of Ben Nevis in honor of his late father, who passed away from multiple myeloma earlier this year. Joined by a team comprising his friends, family, and a fellow soap co-star, James aimed to raise funds for Myeloma UK.
James, known for his role as Ryan Stocks on the show, scaled 1,345 meters in a single day at a climbing facility in Cheltenham. Reflecting on his motivation, he expressed a desire to raise awareness about the blood cancer that claimed his father’s life. He emphasized the need for greater understanding and support for those affected by multiple myeloma.
The emotional journey held significant meaning for James, bringing his loved ones together in support of the cause. Fondly remembering his father’s unwavering encouragement and support, James highlighted the deep bond they shared, particularly in overcoming challenges related to his cerebral palsy.
Despite facing obstacles such as a power outage at the climbing center, James and his team persevered, completing the demanding task of 100 climbs within three and a half hours. Battling a hip injury, James pushed through, culminating the event with a touching moment that moved him to tears, reflecting on his father’s absence and the collective effort put forth.
As James and his wife Sophie approach their first wedding anniversary, they reminisce on their journey together amidst personal loss and new beginnings. Despite the challenges, the couple remains steadfast in their commitment to each other and their shared aspirations for the future, including plans for a family and continued career growth.
Looking ahead, James remains enthusiastic about his role in Emmerdale, hinting at upcoming storylines and his ongoing dedication to the show. With a positive outlook on the future, he embraces the support of his fans and the opportunities that lie ahead in his acting career.
