Every year I choose a charity and take on a personal challenge to raise as much money as possible. This year, I’m incredibly excited to be doing it alongside my amazing friends, Verity and Laura, as we raise funds for Dementia UK.

This charity is very close to our hearts. To support it, we’re pushing ourselves well outside our comfort zones by taking on The Sandman Triathlon this September with the ambitious goal of being fit enough to hopefully complete another triathlon in July too.

The Sandman Triathlon is no small feat:a sea swim at Newborough Beach, Anglesey, followed by a cycle and a run, finishing over the sand dunes.

For all of us, this is a huge challenge. We’re going from beginner fitness to triathlon fitness, committing to multiple training sessions each week, especially preparing for the sea swim, which will take real dedication, resilience, and teamwork.

Alongside training, we’re juggling everyday life: school runs, children’s clubs, work, and family commitments. We’d love for you to follow our journey on Instagram as we balance it all from; early-morning swims to practice runs and everything in between.

Thank you so much for your support. Every donation truly means the world to us and helps Dementia UK continue their incredible work.
