Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 4th April 2022 I will start 70 consecutive 70.3 mile triathlons in 70 days. If successful I will achieve my goal of TWO GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS – most consecutive number of 113km triathlons (male) AND the most 113km triathlons done in a year (male).

70 x 70mile triathlons in 70 days a huge physical and mental endurance challenge that will see me swim, ride and run 5000miles in 70 days, the distance from London to China. It is going to take, a huge amount of mental resilience to repeat the same long triathlon day in day out, to keeping going when your body hurts, your equipment breaks down, the weather turns bad, or when you realise you are behind on your target, is not easy.

Those of you who know me are aware of my on-going focus on the importance of mental health having previously battled mental health issues myself and addiction.

I'm proud that I am now 6 years sober and I'm hoping to be able to raise as much money as possible for these important mental health, addiction and alcohol charities to help more people that were in my situation.

Mind are a well known, national, mental health charity providing advice and support to empower anyone experiencing a mental health problem. Mind campaign to improve services, raise awareness and promote understanding.

I am also supporting:

* Humankind - a national mental health, addiction and social charity that finances local services like STARS (Stafford Treatment And Recovery Services)

* Alcohol Change UK - the national charity behind "Dry January"

If one of these charities appeals to you more please donate to their page which you can find in my TEAM link. It would be fantastic if we could get an even split of donations.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you so much for all your support. It is raising money for these important charities that is keeping me motivated.
