This is my first middle distance triathlon. Over the last 2 years I’ve been on a fitness and health journey losing over 20kg in the process. I wanted to challenge myself but also raise money for a worthwhile cause. The Salvation Army provides huge support to the local community of Southwick, Sunderland. From Austin House Family Centre they run food banks, kids clubs, exercise classes, a community cafe, and back to work support. I’m keen to do what I can to further support them with this.
