Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my Just Giving page.</p> <p>As many of you are aware my father, Peter Catchpole, died very suddenly late last year.</p> <p>As a result of this I decided that I would like to set myself a little challenge, to complete a Super Sprint Triathlon.&nbsp; Having not done any sport to speak of since leaving school some years ago, this indeed will be a challenge.</p> <p>I have now been joined in this challenge by my brother Andy which has unfortunately now made this a slightly competitive affair, with of course brother and sisterly love!!</p> <p>We have chosen the Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen as our charity which was very close to our father's heart and one which was his main fundraiser.&nbsp; The Royal National Mission to Deep Sea Fishermen provides care, compassion and support to working, retired and disabled fishermen and their families.&nbsp; Deep-sea fishing is dangerous and unpredictable.&nbsp; Hardship and tragedy are facts of everyday life in the UK's fishing industry.&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>All donations to this very worthwhile charity will be very much appreciated.</p>
