Their Story

In 2019, out of the blue, my younger brother suffered a Brain Haemorrhage. He was taken to the Neurology Department at Southampton Hospital where he had to undergo life saving surgery.



Thanks to the amazing staff and the care provided, he was able to make a full recovery. 

As a thank you, myself and Tom have decided to challenge ourselves and signed up to complete an Ironman distance triathlon in Kalmar, Sweden in 2020. Due to Covid the event was cancelled and our entry was moved to August 2021.

An Ironman consists of a 3.8km swim, 180km cycle with a 42km run to finish. The cut off time to complete all 3 elements is 17 hours. We will be training between 12-20 hours per week.

All money raised will go directly to the Neurology Department at Southampton Hospital to help them continue the amazing work that they do every day.

If we aren't able to travel or if the event is cancelled due to restrictions then we are still going to complete the Ironman distance but it will be off our own backs in the UK
