Our Chef Dan continues to support The Alzheimers Charity which is close to his heart. Having both grandparents pass away from this awful disease, Dan has set out to test himself competing in many sporting competitions.

Continuing on since his events listed below, Dan's next big event is travelling to Jacksonville, Florida in early May to compete in the full Ironman Triathlon on 16th May, consisting of swim, bike and run.

2.4 mile Swim in St Johns River

112 mile two loop Bike Course

26.2 mile three loop Run Course

This event is the biggest sporting event that Dan has participated in so we wish him the best of luck.

Our GoFundMe is now open for donations to support the Alzheimers Charity. Any amount of donations will be greatly appreciated.

Their training entailed daily running, swimming and cycling and have competed in Half Marathons at Knebworth, Stevenage, Hatfield & St Albans, Windsor and on 10 November 2024, Dan competed in the Florida Cocoa Beach Half Marathon.

To push himself even more, Dan completed his first Duathlon in Dorney on 19 January 2025. On 25th May, Dan and Lee competed in the Dorney Triathlon and did immensely well.

Since the Ironman 70.3 Bolton Challenge, Dan has continued to compete in events including the T100 London 100km Triathlon where he was able to meet other famous competitors including Gordon Ramsey & Paul Ainsworth (two other great chefs).

On 14th September 2025 Dan also competed in the Weymouth 70.3 Ironman.

Continuing on in 2026, Dan has participated in mini marathons, half marathons and other sporting events to gain his strength and speed for this huge event in May... The Full Ironman Challenge 2026, Jacksonville.

We are so proud of Dan for continuing to raise money for this charity.

Please join us in making a difference. On behalf of Dan’s great commitment, Roy's Restaurant is raising money in aid of the Alzheimer's Society and every donation will help. This chosen charity is very close to our hearts. Sadly Dan's grandparents suffered and passed away from this cruel disease.

Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause. It means so much to the staff at Roys.

At Alzheimer’s Society we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. We do this by giving help to those living with dementia today, and providing hope for the future by campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be and funding groundbreaking research. One in three people born in the UK today will develop dementia in their lifetime. We don’t want anyone to face the realities of dementia alone. That’s why your support is vital.
