On July 2nd, I take on my biggest challenge yet in the baking Frankfurt heat. In pursuit of becoming an ‘Ironman’, only 142 miles stands in my way, split into a 2.4 mile swim, 113 mile cycle and a marathon to end proceedings.
Those who know me, know I love a challenge, but this one carries more sentiment than all I’ve endured. Over the past couple years my beautiful little sister has fell victim to an eating disorder and I’ve seen first hand the effect it’s not only had on her, but everyone around her.
Sophie was unfortunately in and out of hospital over a horrifying period of time, but is now making amazing progress in her recovery and I couldn’t be prouder of her. Although a very different battle, as Sophie’s older brother, I want to show her that anything is possible with hard work and determination.
To spread awareness and to show Sophie she’s not alone in her battle, I am raising money for BEAT, who are an amazing charity dedicated to helping those who are affected by eating disorders, you can check out their work here- https://www.beateatingdisorders.org.uk
Every donation, no matter how big or small will be appreciated more than you know, thank you for your generosity and support in advance.
