Well, the great news is that I completed my ultra triathlon in just 12 hours!  Cycling, swimming and running from Torpoint to Lands End - the entire length of the south coast of Cornwall - was a challenge I will never forget.  That's not to say that my sporting goals for this year are behind me. 

I pledged to try eight new sports during my year in office and I still have four to go. So far, I have tried my hand at wheelchair tennis, fencing, gig rowing and a biathlon. Next up, tag rugby!

I am doing this to raise vital funds for my chosen charity -  Sport and Outdoor Activity for young people with mental health conditions.

I feel very honoured that Cornwall has given me this platform for one year and I would like to give back to Cornwall with your help. Sport has always been at the centre of my life. It makes me feel alive, sorts out any negative thoughts and brings joy to my day. If that’s what it does for me, I know it could bring enormous benefits to young people suffering with mental health difficulties.

I pledge to match fund every penny you give. Let’s make a difference together!
