One day. Three disciplines. A cause close to my heart.

On 17 October 2026, I’ll be taking on IRONMAN 70.3 Cascais in Portugal to raise money for Scleroderma & Raynaud’s UK (SRUK).

A 1.9km swim. A 90km cycle. A 21.1km half marathon. All in one day.

It’s a huge challenge, but my motivation is personal. A member of my family has faced a long-standing battle with scleroderma. Seeing the impact it has had has inspired me to turn this challenge into something that can help other people and families affected by the condition.

I get to choose my challenge and work towards a finish line. People living with scleroderma face a challenge they never chose, every day.

I’m raising money to help SRUK fund research and provide information and support for people affected by scleroderma and Raynaud’s.

If you can, please donate whatever you feel able to give. Every contribution will mean a great deal. Sharing this page is another brilliant way to help.

Thank you for backing me and a cause that means so much to my family. Your support will keep me going through every kilometre, right to the finish line.
