100K in 1 day

My name is Shane, I work for Halo leisure as a manager, swimming instructor and lifeguard. I also work as an on-call firefighter for HWFRS in Ross-on-Wye.

I am doing a charity event to raise money for Mind and the Fire Fighters Charity. Although I have never personally suffered from mental health issues, members of my family and many of my friends have experienced it in some form or another. I wanted to help raise awareness and donate to help support people in similar positions.

About my chosen charities

In 21/22 our mental health information was accessed 21.4 million times and we responded to over 118,000 queries to our support and information hotlines.

Fire Fighters Charity - The Fire Fighters Charity offers specialist, lifelong support for members of the UK fire services community, empowering individuals to live happier and healthier lives. Offering help with mental health, physical health, social wellbeing, nursing, retirement and families.

The event will consist of me completing the following in one day:

* 10K run

* 2K swim

* 20K row

* 60K bike ride

* 8K walk in full fire kit
