I am trying to raise £3000 for Rennie Grove Hospice by completing the Ironman Kalmar challenge on the 20th August 2022 (3.8km Swim, 180km cycle and 42.2km) and all 3 London Classic events (Ride London, Swim Serpentine and the London Marathon). The charity is very close to my heart having looked after my Dad amazingly in the last few months of his life, ultimately allowing him to die peacefully in November 2020 at home as he wanted and preventing him from spending a single night in Hospital.

I will be following a 30 week training program provided by Don Fink's 'Be Iron Fit' book which starts on the 24th January 2022. The training program is split into 3 equal phases: Base Phase, Build Phase and Peak Phase. As part of my training I will be entering numerous other events throughout the year on behalf of Rennie Grove Hospice.

Any donations would be hugely appreciated. As we have reached the initial £3000 target I will be buzz cutting my hair late September. If we reach £3500 before the London Marathon I will also be dying it Pink!
