Stuart Gillett, who is already the current UK record holder for 3x and 5x Ironman distance triathlon, will take on the challenge which features a 24-mile swim, 1120-mile cycle and 262-mile run.
Stuart is raising money in conjunction with the RUHX charity to buy computer radiotherapy AI software for the new RUH Dyson cancer centre.
The software will provide cutting-edge radiotherapy planning to benefit many patients being treated for cancer by freeing up the valuable time of Consultant Oncologists to concentrate on patient-facing care.
Stuart said: “The RUH is a fantastic place to work, the people are absolutely fantastic.
“At present I’m trying to get up at 4am to fit in my training before work so that it doesn’t affect my work or family life, with the objective of raising £10,000 towards this new AI software that will save our Consultant Oncologists a large amount of time allowing them to spend more time with the patients.”
