<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 & radiotherapy without complaint. The people who have evoked her sympathy have been the many youngsters she has met in treatment & 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 triathlon will involve a 2.1 mile sea swim, 124 mile bike ride & finish with a 26.2 mile marathon which will go over two 3000 ft mountains. It will be a long day.</p>
<p>Cyclists Fighting Cancer is a small charity making a massive difference to the life of those they help across the country. With the kind support of the public & fundraisers they are able to continue making this difference to families & youngsters affected by cancer. They hope to supply 250 awards in 2012, this will make their total, since they started in 2006 to over one thousand!</p>
