As many of you know, I like a challenge for a good cause and so on Sunday 14th August I will be tackling a full Olympic Triathlon at Dorney Lake. I've never swum in open water before (apart from paddling in the sea), have only ever cycled half the distance and the running...well I have run a bit before! It's going to be a tough challenge and I'm hoping it's going to come together just fine!

Mind is a personal charity for me as I've always worked to improve my own mental well being and I value and appreciate the hard work that the charity does. Through the support I've received I've been able to deal with anxiety and depression and come out the other side stronger and more confident. I hope that by raising funds for Mind I can help others achieve the same.
