We provide therapeutic support and advice to boys and men affected by sexual abuse

Story

This year I've decided to attempt something I've always dreamed of doing - a Full IronMan triathlon!  

Last year I did my first ever triathlon, and ended up doing 2 Half IronMan distance races - finishing in 6 hours 42 and 6 hours 22 ... so the Full one is likely to take me at least 15 hours!

As part of the training I will be completing Manchester Marathon, Marbella Half Ironman, Mallorca Half Ironman, Finland Half Ironman, Staffordshire Half Ironman and Marlow Half Ironman.

I will be pushing myself to my physical limits, for an incredible charity.

Founded in 2009 by Duncan Craig, following his own experiences as searching for help to deal with the impact of sexual abuse, Survivors Manchester annually works with over 380 boys and men who have experienced sexual abuse, rape and sexual exploitation. Providing males and their partners, friends and families, with safe spaces to explore the impact of sexual violation, gives them the ability to #BreakTheSilence and develop new ways of healing to cope and recover and make choices for the future that don't have the shadows of the past.
