I do all this exercise for the pure enjoyment. It keeps me happy and healthy and I like to push my limits to see what I can achieve. The Ironman is no easy task but I’ve trained hard! In doing so if I can help raise money for a local mental health charity that would give me even more of a push to get me across the line on the day. 

Manchester Mind is an independent, local charity, which supports over 6,500 children, young people and adults each year. We believe that everyone deserves to be supported in their mental health needs and we have a part to play in that. Our charity values the commitment of our staff and volunteers, who work hard to ensure services are delivered in a way that enables people to feel heard and involved. Donations and help from our fantastic supporters make a real difference, so thank you for being part of our success this year.
