On the 6th of October 2024, I will be aiming to complete my first Ironman in Barcelona. This is an endurance event made up of a 3.8km swim, 180km bike, and to finish... a 42km run. This will be a huge challenge for me and like nothing I have ever done before! I have decided to do this in aid of Give Blood 4 Good.

Give Blood 4 Good is a Scottish-based awareness charity set up in 2019 in memory of Patrick Smith. This charity aims to improve education, increase participation in blood donation among young adults, and empower people to continue to give blood until they’re no longer able. Give Blood 4 Good is breaking down the misconceptions to remove the fear and mystique that can often be associated with the process so that everyone who needs a blood transfusion can receive one.

All funds received go towards raising awareness, educational campaigns, and covering the day-to-day costs of running a charity. This allows the charity to produce marketing and educational materials to spread our message and increase the number of people donating regularly.

I will be setting up a blood drive page for this event so if you want to donate blood instead of/as well as donate money that would be amazing!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read through my fundraiser page. If you can, please donate to help this charity continue to raise awareness of the importance of Giving Blood. I am so excited to take on this challenge and your support means the world!

Thank you,

Jess
