Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>In August 2011 my Mother - Edith - was told she had cancer. Since then she has undergone operations, chemotherapy &amp; radiotherapy without complaint. The people who have evoked her sympathy&nbsp;have been the many youngsters she has met in&nbsp;treatment &amp; waiting rooms. After getting our heads together we decided that we would like to raise whatever money we could for Cyclists Fighting Cancer.</p> <p>On the 23rd of June this year I shall be taking part in the Celtman Extreme Triathlon which takes place in the far North West Highlands of Scotland. This Ironman distance&nbsp;triathlon will involve a 2.1 mile sea swim, 124 mile bike ride &amp; finish with a 26.2 mile marathon which will go over&nbsp;two 3000&nbsp;ft mountains. It will be a long day.</p> <p>Cyclists Fighting Cancer is a small&nbsp;charity making a massive difference to the life of those they help across the country. With the kind support of the public &amp; fundraisers they are able to continue making this difference to families &amp; youngsters affected by cancer.&nbsp;They hope to supply 250 awards in 2012, this will make their total, since they started&nbsp;in 2006 to over one thousand!</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p> <p>Many thanks,</p> <p>Ian &amp; Edith</p>
