This year, I’m embarking on the toughest journey of my life: my first-ever DECA IRONMAN Triathlon. Starting on 28th July 2025, I will take on 10 IRONMAN Triathlons over 10 consecutive days - each consisting of a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride, and a 26.2-mile marathon.
Why am I doing this?
Because mental health is deeply personal to me. I have ADHD and have struggled with my own mental health throughout my life. At the age of 18, I tragically lost three friends to suicide and thought, at my lowest, it was an option for myself as well. Those experiences shaped me and gave me a fierce drive to not only fight for my own mental health but also to help others who are struggling.
This year, I’m raising funds for Rock 2 Recovery UK, a charity that provides life-changing mental health support. I want to show that no matter what challenges life throws at us, we are stronger than we think - and that help and hope are always out there.
I hope my journey inspires others to join me, fundraise, share their own stories, and take steps - however small - towards better mental health. Whether you can swim, cycle, run, donate, or simply help spread the word, your support is invaluable.

Fundraising Information
This fundraising page benefits the following good cause:
Rock 2 Recovery, was formed in 2015 by Jamie Sanderson and Jason Fox, after they both experienced their own battles with stress after transitioning from the Royal Marines.
Our mission is to save and change the lives of those in our Armed Forces, our Veteran Community, the Emergency Services and their families who are affected by stress. Our purpose is to inspire and coach towards a more positive future.
Sessions are free to our clients and so fundraising has a vital part to play for us.
Following our unique experiences, we recognise the need for rapid preventative interventions, specific coaching and assistance.
Our non-clinical approach is aimed at inspiring, coaching, motivating and supporting individuals to experience real and positive change in their lives by "rethinking your thinking". We encourage everyone to engage in their own recovery and find their "rock".
Join our wonderful community of inspirational people from all walks of life, who encourage each other to achieve personal goals, including Service people and Veterans who’ve been affected by stress themselves. We could not provide the support to those who need us without our supporters and fundraisers, some who have used the service and want to give back and others who have been inspired by stories they have heard about the work that we do.
All of us at R2R thank you for your efforts and for every single penny raised, we couldn't do it without you!
