Myself and my very close friend Harry are taking on one of the toughest endurance challenges there is — an Ironman triathlon.

In a single day, we will complete:

a 4km open-water swim

a 180km cycle

and a full 42km marathon

Neither of us come from an endurance background, and we are going from relative inexperience to completing a full Ironman

All three disciplines will be completed consecutively, pushing us both physically and mentally to our limits.

We have been training relentlessly for this challenge, not just for ourselves, but to raise vital funds for SSAFA, a charity that provides lifelong support to serving personnel, veterans, and their families within the Armed Forces community.

Every donation, no matter the size, will help SSAFA continue the incredible work they do supporting those who have given so much for others.

Thank you so much for your support — it truly means more than you know.
