Tomorrow I am taking on the back garden to raise awareness for mens mental health during lockdown and to raise some funds for our Strong Grandpa Community Group in Basingstoke. To celebrate my granddaughter Margo’s first birthday tomorrow and because I can’t be there to give her a hug l will be busy swimming 1km in the kids pool followed by 100km ride on the exercise bike then a half marathon run to finish. Follow us at Strong Grandpas on all social media channels

Wow that was tough. The 1km swim was difficult as the water was soooo cold. The ride turned into 110km and the run was 21km to finish. We raised £400 for our group. So happy 😁
