Ironman UK 2025

2.4 miles of open water swimming

112 miles cycling (with lots of hills!)

26.2 miles of running

All in one go and in under 17 hours!

We are attempting this gruelling challenge to support the amazing work our local RSPCA branch do and in memory of my sister Jill who we tragically lost earlier this year. Her adopted cat brought her so much happiness during difficult times.

As always my steadfast challenge partner, Mr David Jobson, will be joining (and trying to beat) me! We are both knocking on a bit now and the training is definitely taking its toll on pretty much every part of our bodies....so please donate anything you can to help us along on the day.

RSPCA Sunderland, Hartlepool and South Tyneside Branch are a small, local, independent charity working to support animals within the areas of Sunderland, Hartlepool, South Tyneside and pockets of County Durham and Gateshead. Although they work closely with the RSPCA National Society, they are a completely separate charity relying on the generosity of local donors.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
