Last week I signed up to tackle my first ever triathlon, this is in aid of creating more awareness for mental health and to raise funds to support the amazing services that Mind In Somerset provide. 

With the current state of a global pandemic, people are losing there lives and loved ones, people are also losing there jobs due to redundancies and businesses collapsing, and now more than ever, it is important for people to maintain good mental health.

I’ve also had family members and friends suffer to different kinds of mental health issues which almost resulted to the worst. 

So that’s why this charity (Mind in Somerset) and creating awareness is so important to me. 

I have 21 weeks to train and be ready to take on an Olympic triathalon:

- 1.5km Sea Swim 🏊‍♂️ 

- 47km Cycle 🚴🏼

- 8km Run 🏃🏽‍♂️

Any donations will be highly grateful and give me more determination.

l will also be posting how my training is progressing on my instagram (Lairdy5) and Strava, so please follow me on my journey.
