<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p>
<p>On July 15th, I will be competing in the Ironman Switzerland in Zurich. The race is made up of a 2.4 mile swim, then a 112 mile cycle finishing with a full marathon of 26.2 miles. </p>
<p>Whilst this mammoth endurance event is part of my mid-life crisis, I wanted to use the opportunity to raise some money for a good cause. This year I have been struck by what a terrible sickness depression can be. Often stigmatised, this illness can ruin lives and the sufferers often go through the darkest moments completely alone. The Depression Alliance is a tremendous organisation that works to relieve and prevent this treatable condition by providing information and support services.</p>
<p>Any donation you can make will be put to great use and will be most gratefully received.</p>
