Original post, before the race:
Hi, you beautiful people!
Have you done something with your hair? Have you been working out? Well, you look bloody great, whatever it is!
No, I’m not trying to butter you up… well, maybe a little… but for a very good cause.
Some of you may know and many don’t that I’ll be venturing to beautiful Austria to take part / compete / survive in an Ironman on July 1st (I cannot believe the time is nearly here... yikes!).
I’ll be one of those characters in the water (in the banner image at the top of the page) pretty soon!
This will be my first ever Ironman and I’ll try to preemptively answer some of your questions based on the most common things I hear when I mention I will be doing an Ironman:
As intensely personal and selfish a pursuit as this is (SJ, you are a legend for not just putting up with me but also supporting and encouraging me!), it has also felt like something with purpose and substance and I think it will make it extra special for it to be a part of something bigger than my own personal journey and with that in mind, I’d love for you to help me raise money for Medecin Sans Frontier (MSF) and the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre (DRCC).
I, like everyone I’d imagine, have been deeply affected by the humanitarian crisis sparked by civil war in Syria. As well as feeling empathy for the situation of those living in Syria, it is hard not to also feel guilty about the incredibly privileged situation we find ourselves in and I’ve questioned if I could and should be doing more to help those in need. Seeing the work that MSF were doing in Syria during the worst of the conflict highlighted what an incredible organisation they are and how deserving they are of our support!
Also, as some of you know, SJ worked for the DRCC a few years ago and that time brought to my attention the incredible work they do to support victims of sexual assault, while also being criminally underfunded. The DRCC are not a charity at the forefront of everyone’s mind, as so much of what they do is done in private and so any publicity and fundraising around their work is so important.
