Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Please sponsor me for my first (probably last) Ironman triathlon to raise money for Youth Cancer Trust.

YCT provides free, fun activity based holidays for young people aged 14 to 30 suffering with cancer.  I have known about YCT for about 18 months and think this is a great opportunity to raise a bit of cash for the cause.  I would like to raise £1,000 so please forward this page to people who may be interested in sponsoring me and I will let you know how the fund raising goes in a few weeks.

I have entered the Ironman UK triathlon in Bolton on 2nd August.  After completing half the distance in June last year I got fed up of saying I had completed half an Ironman, so this is the full version. 

It involves 2.5 mile swim followed by 112 miles on the bike and ends with a 26 mile run.  After training for the past 5 months I still can't quite figure out how I am meant to complete the run.  Only one way to find out.

If you would like to know more about this worthy charity please visit the website at www.yct.org.uk

Many thanks for your donation.

Chris
