My story

 

Four brave (and somewhat foolish) colleagues have talked one another into entering this triathlon event which takes place at Dorney Lake near Windsor, one of the 2012 Olympic sites.  While we won't be tackling the full Olympic course, none of us has ever attempted a triathlon before so it's set to be quite an experience.

The very good reason we are putting ourselves through this pain is the Build a School Project in  Bangalore, India. The school called Snehasadan is a home for underprivileged children who are either orphaned or come from single parent homes. The objective of the project is to break the cycle of poverty and transform the lives of these children by providing sustainable self development, education and skill based training to ensure the children are better equipped to face the world.

Please give generously to this worthwhile cause.  Any money you donate will be matched £ for £ by HSBC (up to a total maximum of £2000 for the team). 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
