This year im taking part in IRONMAN Leeds. My whole life ive been into Sport and done pretty much everything under the sun. But this takes it to a whole new level. I really want to push myself and see what my body is capable of. An IRONMAN consists of a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike ride and finishes off nicely with a steady little marathon.

I think pushing your body to the limit is such an exciting and invigorating way of seeing what we are really capable of. An IRONMAN is something I’ve toyed with for a while and to be totally honest the sheer scale of the event and distance you have to cover has always deterred me, but 2025 is the year to really push my self and finish this huge event.

Given the scale of the event, it’s a no brainer when it comes to doing this for a good cause, with so many people taking part and people from all over the world attending and spectating. I will be raising money for Alzheimer’s Society. A charity very close to mine and my families hearts. My Grandma Elsie sadly passed away from Alzheimers disease in 2016. A horrible illness she battled with for years. She went from a loving Mum, Grandma and Friend to someone you could hardly recognise, it truly was heartbreaking to be apart of. So many families are going through and have gone through the exact same thing and can resonate with the upset and heartache it causes.

It’s so important to spread awareness around this disease and raise as much money as we can in order to help fight against it.

The money I raise a portion of this will go towards funding my equipment for the IRONMAN. It’s important for me to have the right gear when competing, not only to perform at my best but to also keep me safe along the way.

The majority will be donated directly to Alzheimers Society, If you would be kind enough to donate, sponsor and support whatever it may be I will keep you posted with training updates and my progress along the way.

After the event full details will be made available to view what has been spent towards equipment and what was been donated directly to Alzheimer’s Society.
