Story

This last 6 months have been tough for Leo, as he has got older he has developed more of an understanding of grief surrounding losing Iris in 2020. We have reached out to Penhaligon's friends who have been an amazing support, they have sent Leo a care package and numerous books which have helped Leo understand and deal with his emotions. Typically for Leo he wants to give back to people who have been kind to him and to do this he wants to raise money by doing a triathlon in Iris’ memory. He will be doing this on Saturday 20th August, the day after Iris' birthday. He will be doing a 50m swim followed by a 4 mile bike ride finishing with a 1 mile run.

Any donations big or small will be greatly appreciated by all of us especially Leo.
