Story
Hello and thank you for visiting one of my three just giving pages for my chosen charities St Thomas' Lupus Trust, SANDS and Prader-Willi Syndrome Association.
Having completed several half hearted challenges over the years Drew and I have decided to embark on one that will definitely take us to our limits. The Midnight Man is a Half Iron man that gets under way at 8pm with a 1.9km swim, followed immediately by a 90km bike ride and a 21.1km run that’s a total of 113km of man powered transport that will take us through to a finish around2:30am.
We have raised money in the past for a number of charities but there are three specifically that have changed the lives of my family and friends and its time I gave something back. Drew has helped me through several challenges and he will be will me every step of the way as I attempt to raise over £6000 for these three charities.
The St Thomas Lupus Trust is a charity that has had a profound impact on my family. Katie (my wife) was diagnosed around the age of 18 and has been managed by the team there ever since. Lupus is an autoimmune disease which can effect any system within the body resulting in patients using immunosuppressants for life as there is no cure. Pregnancy is particularly challenging but the Trust do masses of research and without their knowledge and support there is no way I would be the proud father of two that I am. Through this event I am hoping to say a small thank you to everyone in the Louise Coote Lupus Unit for giving us Felix and Oscar.
I encourage you to look at my other pages and learn a little about my other causes and thank you for your generous donation.
