James's fundraiser for Teenage Cancer Trust

James Wood is raising money for Teenage Cancer Trust
In memory of Carl and Jay

Nottingham Outlaw Ironman · 25 July 2026

We are dedicated to improving the quality of life and chances of survival for young cancer patients aged 13-24. We fund and build specialist units in NHS hospitals and provide dedicated staff, bringing young people together so they can be treated by teenage cancer experts in the best place for them.

Story

In 2015, Carl and I took on the London Triathlon to raise funds for Teenage Cancer Trust, a charity that stood by Jay and his family during his courageous battle with cancer. Their unwavering support meant the world to us in those difficult times.

Carl and I always dreamed of conquering an Ironman together. In 2025, on the tenth anniversary of losing our precious boys, I am determined to fulfil that dream in their honour.

On July 27th, I will swim 2.4 miles, cycle 112 miles, and run 26.2 miles. This Ironman journey is not just a test of physical endurance, but a heartfelt tribute to Jay, Carl and all the young warriors who face cancer with immense bravery.

Please join me in supporting the Teenage Cancer Trust. Together, we can make a difference and bring hope to countless families. Your donation will provide vital assistance to those in need, just as the charity did for us

Should you need a little extra motivation, as for the triathlon, if I meet my target of £2500, I will be shaving my head
