✨ MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS ✨

This year has been one of the hardest for my mental health. I’ve struggled deeply, and being diagnosed with ADHD three years ago finally helped me understand many of the challenges I’ve carried since childhood. It hasn’t been easy — but it has made me stronger.

My life is a journey of my own. I know how depression feels. I know anxiety, loneliness, the weight of feeling low and down. I’ve experienced it all — and I had to fight through life just to still be here, alive, learning to trust my gut, my path, and myself.

Training for an Ironman has become my way of transforming — physically, mentally, and emotionally. But it’s not just the workouts that are hard. The planning and organisation alone can feel overwhelming with ADHD. Structure has never come naturally to me, and preparing for something this big often feels chaotic.

Honestly, I’m not even sure how I’ll complete this challenge. I’m not that physically strong yet, and I know I should have trained more to get fitter and better prepared. Finding the time and staying consistent has been really hard. But even with all of this, I refuse to give up.

I’m doing this Ironman not only to push my own limits, but also to raise money for a charity my friend created after his own mental health battle. Together, we want to bring hope and support to others who are struggling.

For me, this journey is about showing that movement can heal. Exercise has taught me that when we move, we grow stronger — body and mind. I hope to inspire others to believe that no matter where you start, change is possible. Strength is possible. Healing is possible.
