Story

So… I am undertaking a few challenges this year, to test myself but also to raise awareness of Mental Health – specifically supporting York Mind. They are a small independent charity who support individuals suffering from mental ill health - suicide is the biggest cause of death for men under the age of 45!! I only became aware of the great work they do through the terrible loss of Bruce Wetherhill last December, a father, husband, brother & son and also a friend and colleague for many of us….he really was the best of company to be around and is missed by many. 

So…….first up is probably the biggest challenge & it is
the #thresholdtrailseries - Heineken Race to the Castle – 100km non-stop, alongside Ian Cooke. The rest are below, anyone who wants to join us is more than welcome (probably avoid the 100km tbh it isn’t looking too appealing)

05/09 – Tour of the Borders (120 km ride) – Sarge & Dunc
in tow!!

19 / 09 – Derby Sprint Triathlon

26/09 – Sheffield ½ Marathon

17/10 – York Marathon

Any support is really appreciated, even a small donation
enables York Mind to hold a 1-2-1 session with some which can go a long way to help them on the road to recovery.

Thanks
