Join us for Harvey’s Triathlon Challenge!
Harvey Goodman, a remarkable 9-year-old with a giant heart, is taking on a monumental challenge on the 3rd and 4th of May, and YOU can be a part of it!
LiveWire is proud to host the swimming section of Harvey’s Half Ironman triathlon at the Orford Jubilee Neighbourhood Hub.
This event aims to raise awareness and vital funds for Peace & Mind UK, a charity founded by Esther Ghey in memory of her daughter, Brianna Ghey, who was tragically taken from us in 2023.
Why is this event important?
Peace and Mind UK is committed to improving the mental health of young people and their families, ensuring they have the resources and support needed to thrive emotionally. They believe in a world where every child has access to mental health resources, which is essential for resilience and emotional wellness.
Harvey has already raised an incredible £50,000 for various causes through his previous challenges, and now he’s taking his commitment to the next level. Dancing to the beat of his passion for mental health awareness, Harvey will swim 1.2 miles, bike 56 miles, and walk 16 miles – all to finish at Old Trafford, a place close to his heart as a passionate Manchester United fan!
