This week we have two of our wonderful community members Ian and Neil on the podcast who make up two thirds of the Team OTI Ironman squad!
Last weekend they took on the mighty Northumbrian Full Ironman challenge with fellow OTI community member Kelly, all to raise money for Alcohol Change UK. Now they're here to tell us all about it!
We're very proud of their achievement and are absolutely delighted that they did it with OTI in their team name. If you would like to donate, you still can via justgiving.com/page/teamoti.
Well done Team OTI!
