Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

After 3 years of competing in Triathlon's with my friend and workmate Ruth Cass and her brother Dylan, I decided to attempt the ultimate fitness test of the Ironman. Ruth said she's not that daft, so just myself and Dylan have entered. The event consists of 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike and a marathon to finish, to be completed within 16 hours 30 minutes.

Everton in the Community aim to use the power of sport to motivate, inspire and educate people in the local community to improve their life chances. I work in a similar field and see how much of an impact this can make. They are currently fundraising to build a purpose built mental health facility on Spellow Lane next to Goodison Park, which is what these donations will go towards. Anyone will be able to access the facility and receive support to promote positive mental health and meet their needs in relation to suicide.

If you fancy a day out of standing around clapping, your support would be very welcome...
