Over the last two and a 1/2 years, I have transformed my life through triathlon training, losing 82kg in the process.

Having grown up in care after losing both of my parents at a young age, the Army Cadets gave me structure, belonging, and belief in myself. It became the stepping stone into my career in the British Army, and played a vital role in shaping the person I am today.

This challenge is about giving back to an organisation that provides experiences and opportunities to young people across London the same way the ACF did for me.

Any donation, no matter the size, will help give other young people the same opportunities I was given. Thank you for your support.

YOU London gives young people the opportunity and experiences to make a fantastic change to their lives, to make new friends, have some really great adventures, develop all sorts of skills and help others. Supporting youth organisations across London. YOU London is a unique partnership of 11 of the most well-known experienced and wide-reaching youth organisations in London.

The London T100 Triathlon starts and finishes at the ExCel Centre in London’s Docklands. This full T100 Distance involves a 2Km swim in the Royal Victoria Dock, a 80km bike ride as far as Big Ben passing several London landmarks including the London Eye, Tower Bridge and the Tower of London, and an 18km run through the Docklands. This diverse course not only challenges athletes with its urban terrain but also offers breathtaking views of the city’s historical and cultural landmarks.
