Cairns Ironman for Kai-Fella 🌈

Hello everyone

I am trying to fundraise $3700 to support Kai-Fella foundation do their incredible work in preventing suicide in our youth.

You might be thinking, ‘oh no, not another person doing a sporting event & wanting me to donate 🙄’
It may seem like that, but hopefully not. I’ve completed a few sporting events in my time, but this will be the first where I am fundraising towards a charity 💛 I’ve set a big goal & I want it to mean more than just a tick that I’ve achieved it.

Kai-Fella is close to my heart & chances are, if you know me, it’s likely that their cause is close to your heart too. The money raised pays for early-intervention workshops for young people struggling with mental health.

Suicide is the leading cause of death in young West Australians & young men are especially vulnerable. Having 2 sons of our own, this statistic hits hard, & I want to see it change.

It only takes a minute and any money you can give (no matter how large or small) will go a long way to help reach the target.

It’s nice to give back to the community through our love of sport. So I’ve taken on another Ironman challenge!!

On 16th June 2024, I’ll be swimming 3.8km, cycling 180km then finishing with a marathon to complete the Cairns Ironman. It’s my first time travelling by plane to do a triathlon & this in itself is a challenge for me. I like setting big goals, & for me, it doesn’t get any bigger than training for an Ironman. 12-20hr training weeks means I give myself the best chance to have a good race day & enjoy it for around the 12hrs that I’ll be out there.

So if you think the cause is worth supporting, or if you want to come on this journey with me, please donate if you can 🙏🏾 ❤️

Thank you, I really appreciate your support...
