Our dear friend Joseph Harris died in South Africa in November of last year while doing charity and research work. We all still miss him very much: his charm, his boisterous sense of humour and of course that cheeky grin of his.

Joe loved triathlon and represented Great Britain in the sport. We are therefore (attempting to) compete in this year's Stratford-upon-Avon triathlon, to the honour of Joe's memory and to contribute to a cause close to his heart: the Dominic Beer Memorial Trust, a charity set up in honour of Joe's uncle, Dominic Beer, which aims to support projects or research that will benefit people suffering from severe mental illness, and of which Joe was a trustee.

George will be swimming, James will be running and Caolan will be cycling. Come, watch us and mock us on 29 April - and, please, give generously.
