Raising money for

National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children

Charity Registration No. 216401 and SC037717

The NSPCC's purpose is to end cruelty to children and our vision is of a Society where all children are loved, valued and able to fulfil their potential. In September 2008, the NSPCC launched its Child’s Voice Appeal to answer more children’s cries for help. Every day, thousands of children and young people need to talk to ChildLine about a problem they face, while hundreds of caring adults call the NSPCC Helpline, worried about a child’s safety.

My story

It may come as a surprise to many of you reading this, that I'm not a natural athlete. On September 13th I will be embarking on an Alcatraz triathlon. This consists of a 1.5 mile swim from Alcatraz, (managing the currents and trying not to get my legs bitten off by sharks). I will then cycle 15km's followed by a 10km run. It's a big ask especially as 3 months ago I was struggling to do a couple of lengths in my local pool and gasping for breath. Anyway after some coaching, I rashly put my name down for this race.

I'm raising money for the NSPCC which is an excellent charity and I would really appreciate your sponsorship. I have set myself a target of GBP10,000. If you would like to know more about the NSPCC and the work they do, please have a look at their link to the left hand side of this page.

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 - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thanks, Dom
