Mid life crisis

Thanks for taking the time to visit my GiveWheel page and supporting my chosen charities - Guy's And St Thomas' Foundation, Centrepoint, Carney’s Community, Refuge and Go Overboard. I have hit that time of life when men feel even greater desperation about their relevance. The gathering sense of irrelevance combined with having my left leg amputated a year ago following a series of unsuccessful operations to lead me to this point. A swim from Albania to Corfu, the publication of a book written during convalescence and finally a half iron man in Oman this coming February are all aimed at raising money for the above charities... My friend Loughlinn has kindly agreed to do the half iron with me. My unrealistic aim is to beat him...
