Miles That Matter – Double Ironman for Charity
On Saturday 13 June 2026, I’m taking on my biggest endurance challenge yet: a solo, continuous Double Ironman completed back-to-back in one effort.
That means:
• 4.7 mile swim
• 224 mile bike
• 52 mile run
I’m doing this to raise money for two charities that do incredible work:
- Upside Down Sports Club – helping create sport opportunities, inclusion, and confidence for young people
- Road Victims Trust (rvtrust.org.uk) – supporting people affected by road death and serious injury
This challenge will be long, uncomfortable, and at times brutal, but that’s the point. When things get difficult, I’ll be thinking about why I started: turning effort into impact for people who genuinely need support.
If you’re able to help, please donate and share this page. Whether it’s £5 or £50, every contribution makes a real difference and it will genuinely help carry me through the tough miles.
Thank you so much for your support.
