Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

*UPDATE* Due to generosity target has now increased to £1000

Why Shelter?: Homelessness throughout the UK has always been a concern of mine, and continues to grow as an issue no matter the city/town. I believe have a safe place to rest, recover and call a base (not even a home), is essential to being able to support ones self, without which you can never rest and recover from the harsh reality that many experience. Id like to contribute something to help those who are struggling.

What am I doing?: The event is a middle distance triathlon - 1.5km Swim, 90km Bike ride & 21km Run. This event is self funded, so none of the money is going towards the event cost or anything else. 

Why is this a challenge?: I have never been a long distance cardio athlete, by any stretch of the imagination. Sprint swimming and rugby were the closest I ever got to anything like this. I have had to completely re-train my body over the last year to go further and last longer than ever before, resolve issues with sciatica and bad knee, balance new jobs and moving a lot. I have also never ran in competition over 10km, or done any tri event further than a sprint (except Aug 2021). I have trained, and continue to train, long & hard to put in a good performance at this event and hope it all comes to fruition. 

Training/Follow: if interested in my training follow "@Alumininum.Mann" on Instagram.

please dig deep and try to help me reach any target possible.

many thanks
