Hey everyone!

Join me on this exciting journey as my guide Andy and I take on a triathlon in Swansea – captured and interviewed beautfully by Wales own @TreeTopFilms and edited by @kjgmedia1, with permission from the@BritishTriathlon Federation (BTF).

This event is part of the British Triathlon Super Series at the World Triathlon Para Series, aimed at promoting adaptive sports like triathlon for visually impaired individuals, including those with conditions like Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP).

In this video, I’m thrilled to feature music by the talented R&B artist Joslyn Sky @JoslynSky ) who, like me, faces the challenges of RP. Her inspiring music has been a great support on my journey, and you can find all her links below to show her some love.

Triathlon isn’t just a race; it’s a testament to resilience and determination. By sharing my experience, I hope to inspire others, both visually impaired and sighted, to embrace adaptive sports and push their limits.

If you’re into triathlons or know someone who might benefit from seeing what’s possible, please share this video. Let’s raise awareness and encourage more people to get involved in adaptive sports.

Stay tuned for more updates on my journey, including the upcoming British Championships at Eton Dorney. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe to join me on this incredible adventure of overcoming challenges and achieving dreams.
