On the 14th July 2019 I will be taking part in the Ironman UK triathlon race. If you're not sure what that is, let me explain a little. It is an endurance triathlon that consists of a 2.4 mile open water swim, 112 mile road cycle and to finish a 26.2 mile run. Oh and it's my birthday that day too.

As I'm sure you will have all have noticed, I have dropped a fair bit of blubber over the past 12 months or so and I needed something to aim for to keep me going and what better way than to go to the extreme and compete in Ironman UK. 

Originally I was just going to do the race just for myself and not do any fundraising but over the past year I have lost two people I was very close to to Sepsis. Before this I honestly didn't know much about it and now I do it is quite scary to say the least. I thought I would use this opportunity to raise people's awareness of Sepsis.
