This year, I’ve decided to take on a huge challenge — the Ironman 70.3. That’s a 1.9km swim, a 90km bike ride, and a half marathon (21.1km) — a total of 70.3 miles.

To put that in perspective… I haven’t swam lengths in a pool since I was about ten years old, and I’ve never cycled more than 40km. So this will definitely be a challenge.

But I’m doing it for a reason that means a lot to me — in memory of a great man who was taken from us far too soon. If taking on this challenge can help raise money to make a difference, support others, or prevent another family from going through the same pain, then that’s the least I can do.

Every donation, no matter how small, will help and is so greatly appreciated. Thank you for your support — it means the world.
