I will be taking on an Ironman triathlon in Estonia in support of a local sports and food charity called Burgess Sports. For anyone who hasn’t heard of an Ironman, it’s a 3.8km swim, a 180km bike ride and a marathon run, all consecutively. This is likely to be just about as fun as it sounds. The charity I’ll be supporting (Burgess Sports) is a grassroots community charity based in Southwark, providing free holiday sports camps, after school sports activities and healthy meals to children from low-income families in South London. The school holidays can be a particularly difficult time as increased childcare demands impact earning potential, and in an area where 1 in 4 residents have low food security, the free meals side of their work also has a real impact.
