Niall McCluskey to complete New Year’s Day triathlon for charity
Advocate Niall McCluskey is completing the New Year’s Day triathlon in Edinburgh for charity Support in Mind Scotland.
Support in Mind Scotland works to improve the wellbeing and quality of life of people affected by serious mental illness.
Niall will take on a 400-metre swim in the Commonwealth Pool, after which he will cycle around Arthur’s Seat three times before running a lap of it.
He told SLN: “Over the last couple of years I have become a keen triathlete and my training regime typically is three runs, two swims and two bike sessions every week. I compete in all distances from sprint to half Ironman.
“One of my triathlon club mates is very involved in this charity and asked me to get sponsored for this event. This charity helps people with serious mental health issues and is a cause I support wholeheartedly.”
