Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p><span style="font-size: small;"><span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Sans-Serif;"><span style="color: #2a2a2a;"><span style="color: #2a2a2a;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Sans-Serif;"><span style="color: #2a2a2a;"><span style="color: #2a2a2a;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Sans-Serif;">This year I have been persuaded to undertake the challenge of <span style="color: #ff00ff;">UK Ironman</span>, that is<span style="color: #ff00ff;"> 2.4mile </span>swim, <span style="color: #ff00ff;">112 mile </span>bike (surely that's what cars are for?!) and <span style="color: #ff00ff;">26.2mile </span>run. This decision was inspired by the efforts of 'Team True Spirit' at last year's event. Soldiers who's lives have been transformed through loss of multiple limbs and other significant injuries, undertook and achieved Ironman success proving that it is the mind that holds us back from great achievements. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;"><span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Sans-Serif;"><span style="color: #2a2a2a;"><span style="color: #2a2a2a;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Sans-Serif;"><span style="color: #2a2a2a;"><span style="color: #2a2a2a;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Sans-Serif;">So this year I am going to try to achieve the same and become an 'Ironman' and in doing so I will be raising money for BLESMA, who will support these guys who have lost limbs for their country, for the rest of their lives. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: small;"><span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Sans-Serif;"><span style="color: #2a2a2a;"><span style="color: #2a2a2a;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Sans-Serif;"><span style="color: #2a2a2a;"><span style="color: #2a2a2a;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, Sans-Serif;">Thank you for so much your support.
