On 18th October, I'll be taking on the aquathlon at Challenge Peguera in Majorca.

In 2019, our family friend Carl lost his life during the Challenge Peguera triathlon. Carl was an amazing friend and a firefighter at Heathrow Airport, someone whose job was to run towards danger and help others when they needed it most. He is missed every day by his family, friends and colleagues.

I'm raising money as part of the South Central Ambulance Charity's 24-hour CPR-a-THON fundraising, an initiative founded by Tony Larks, a first responder with SCAS. The CPR-a-THON highlights the difference CPR can make to saving a life. When someone's heart stops, every second counts, and a bystander who knows what to do can give them a real chance of survival. The more people who learn CPR, the more lives can be saved.

The aquathlon is a 200m open water swim followed by a 1km run. Every donation, big or small, will help SCAS fund its amazing first responders, promote what to do in an emergency, and give more people the skills and confidence to act. If you can't donate, sharing this page is just as valuable.

Thank you for helping me honour Carl in a way he would have been proud.

Thank you!

Harry
