Story

Wales Air Ambulance Charity is funded by the people of Wales and requires £6.5 million a year to keep its four helicopters in the sky, serving Wales and saving lives. The charity can be anywhere in Wales within 20 minutes, its doctors and medics fly the A&E department to the patient. It also runs the Children's Wales Air Ambulance service, transferring vulnerable babies and children to the specialist hospitals across the UK. Your donations will help keep this vital service in Wales.

I have been given an opportunity to participate in Ironman Wales, I know it will be a massive challenge for  myself to do an Ironman and I hope I’m up for the challenge, at the same time I will raise money for this great cause. Hopefully I can complete the course and be an Ironman.

I have watched the Ironman In Tenby for the past 3 or 4 years and I take my hat off to anyone who completes the grueling course, I'm hoping to be one of them people, and your donations will help me along the way.

**Update** As some of you know i was unable to take part in 2022 due to a nasty cycling accident where i sustained several injuries, however i a not giving up and i will take on this challenge at Ironman Wales 2023, your donations are much appreciated.

Thank you
