Having done a few sporty events over the last few years, a challenge which has always interested me is a Triathlon. So I have finally decided to bite the bullet and get myself registered for one! I have been training for 5 months now and with the kind donation of a bike I am ready!! The event is taking place on 11th Sept
The Triathlon is 750m open water (!!) swim (approx 30 lengths in a 25m pool), 23km bike ride and finished off by a 5km run.
I am raising money for a charity very close to my heart - World Horse Welfare - this charity do an enormous amount of amazing work for horses both in the UK and abroad. One of their projects is to end the plight of horses being transported for slaughter - the horses are put through an horrific journey just to meet their maker at the end of it! They also provide an education in developing countries on how to look after their horses and donkeys so that these animals, which are vital to a families work and income, are looked after well and are ready for the work they are faced with.

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.
