Hello troops!

I am setting this fundraiser up to raise funds for Mantalk in Blairgowrie. Mantalk is a suicide awareness / prevention charity that works tirelessly to help men in need of support, who are going through mental health issues in their lives. The charity helps to create a judgement free place to meet up with people in similar situations to themselves, and also takes the guys away on amazing activities and adventures to stimulate the mind and make them feel better about themselves. Suicide in UK is the biggest killer of men under 50 years old, bar none. This has to stop and I personally will not stop until our men are given the help and support they need.

I am training and competing in Ironman Lanzarote on 23rd May 2026. I will be pushing my body to the absolute limit, on what is arguably the toughest Ironman on the planet. If our men are pushing themselves to the limit everyday just to survive their mental health battles, then I can push myself to the limit for one day to raise as much awareness and funds as I can to help their fight. Please help me fight for our men and raise money to allow more men to be helped and given the opportunity to be taken away from their routine to enjoy some mind stimulating teambuilding experiences, and let some light into what can be some very dark days.

Please follow the journey for the next 7 months on TikTok: @Iron_MANTALK_Journey Lanzarote.

Also follow me on Strava to see my everyday training program.

Thank you all in advance for your help!! Be there with me on 23rd May 2026 to ring that bell at the end of the race.
