Hi everyone!

As I'm sure you know, I've decided to swim, bike and run (read stagger) through the London Triathlon on Sunday 28 July this year. Against my better judgement, I've signed up to do the Olympic distance, meaning a 1.5km open water swim, 40km cycle and 10km run. This is a massive challenge for me, especially since in January this year I couldn't swim front crawl, had never ridden a road bike and avoided running at all costs!

St. Margaret's Hospice in Somerset is a small, local charity providing specialist care, support and respite to patients and their families living in Somerset and neighbouring counties. They do a wonderful job and can make a real difference to those going through extremely difficult times, so I would love it if you could sponsor me and support them by donating on this page.

Finally, if you happen to be free on 28 July, please do come down to the Excel centre to support - it will definitely be much appreciated and maybe even quite entertaining (for you, painful for me).

Thanks so much, Annabel
