I decided to set myself a challenge to get fitter and lose weight.  I chose a triathlon for some weird reason since I can barely swim, and run like I'm towing a caravan.  The triathlon consists of a 750m swim, 23km cycle and a 5km run.

Despite the initial goal being personal, I have been encouraged to use the event to try and raise cash for charity.  

I have recently become a trustee of the Dundee United Community Trust which exists to improve the lives of people in Dundee and the surrounding areas. Our vision is to be the most innovative and impactful Community Trust of its kind in Scotland, recognised as a key player in sport and community development locally and a strong example of best practice in Sport for Change.
