I will be taking part in the IRONMAN 70.3 in Weymouth on the 23rd September 2018. The 70.3 refers to the total distance in miles covered in the race, consisting of a 1.2-mile (1.9 km) swim, a 56-mile (90 km) bike ride, and a 13.1-mile (21.1 km) half-marathon run to top it off at the end.

I am raising money for the Will Houghton Foundation who work with UK charities to help 14-24 year olds reach their potential through education and sport. Will Houghton (24.07.95 - 29.01.16) was an intelligent, loving, inquisitive and motivated man with a love of family, the outdoors, sea and cycling. He was killed in a road accident while on a training ride near his university in Portsmouth.

At the very heart of the foundation is the wish to keep his shining spirit alive and inspire a new generation of young people to be their very best.
