Hi, my name is Janet age 54 and taking on a challenge to put something back into community and charity services that support others and are close to my heart.

I have been training since January 2025, swimming, cycling and running each day gradually building up my strength, resilience, motivation and ability to achieve the goal.

The Iron Jan challenge is to complete 31 sprint triathlons in 31 days in August 2025.

A total of:

Swim 7.75 miles

cycle 387.5 miles

Run 96 miles

1st Senses Wellbeing Centre who provide many opportunities for all ages, abilities and particularly SEND children and their families.

2nd Trinity Holistic Centre who offer support and holistic therapies for cancer patients based at JCUH. Last year supporting my dear friend Michelle who continues to fight against cancer.

cancer touches so many people, their families and lives.

3rd Maxi’s Mates who provide life chances for dogs who may not otherwise live to tell the tale. Taking dogs in from those are unable to keep their dogs or those dogs who have been lost or abandoned. Giving each dog a second chance to find a family who can love them.

Each charity provides vital services for all the things I am passionate about and without on-going financial support can’t provide the level of support for those who need it most.

I will be posting weekly progress captured on my tracking watch.
