After Ironman Wales was cancelled in 2020 and then again in 2021, I decided to go out and complete the course on my own in September 2021 to prove to myself that I could do it.

What started out as solitary expedition to cover the Ironman distance, turned into what would become one of the most inspiring journeys of my life.

Because the event was cancelled 2 years in a row, I’ll now be running the official event this year in September in aid of the Wales Air Ambulance.

Wales Air Ambulance Charity is funded by the people of Wales and requires £8 million a year to keep its four helicopters in the sky, serving Wales and saving lives. The charity can be anywhere in Wales within 20 minutes, its doctors and medics fly the A&E department to the patient. It also runs the Children's Wales Air Ambulance service, transferring vulnerable babies and children to the specialist hospitals across the UK. Your donations will help keep this vital service in Wales.
