Hi my name is Kieran Peters, 28 years of age, originally from London but currently and have done for the last 8 years lived in the south west region.

My profession for the last 10 years has been working in special schools as a teaching assistant specialising in autism, social and communication difficulties and attention deficit disorder. I have recently gone part time to pursue my passion as an athlete, coach and personal trainer at a local independent gym called ‘Mystyle Gym'.

I am a strongman and powerlifter who within just over a year of sport specific training has become Hastings strongest man, Somersets strongest man and have placed in a national competition qualifying me to compete in The Arnold Amateur Strongman World Championships held at one of the biggest sporting events in the world, The Arnold Classic Sports Festival.

This once in a lifetime opportunity is being held over four days in Ohio, USA, from March 1st 2018. I along with a small handful of people have earned the right to represent the United Kingdom at this prestigious event, but will require some financial help to make it there and do myself, the south west and the rest of the country proud.

I am hoping to raise £3000 to put towards the cost of flights, accommodation and training essentials and equipment.
