As everyone that knows me will know, a triathlon is probably the furthest thing from what I'd normally do in my spare time. However the world has changed and I must change with it and push myself to do new and exciting things. Along with a bunch of dafties from Edinburgh Wolves Women American Football team, my aim is to complete the triathlon, times etc are irrelevant, I'm just pushing myself to finish and raise some money in the process. I will be taking part in the Aviemore Short Triathlon 2022 on 18th September 2022.
I'm raising money for Circus Eruption, they teach circus to young people and volunteers from all walks of life regardless of their race, colour, religion, sexuality and gender. Young people who have been labelled as having special needs or disabilities come and take part on an equal footing with other young people from their local area who do not have these labels. This includes students who might be autistic or have behavioural problems or with physical limitations. The learning and sharing of new circus and performance skills helps to empower all participants by increasing their self confidence and self esteem. Likewise, the involvement of all members in decision making and the running of Circus Eruption creates an environment of shared efforts and directed growth.
