I managed to smash my target and completed the course in 5 hours 13 mins and 2 seconds. Tom did and awesome swim and a great bike ride and completed the course in 5 hours 39mins. Both these times are well above our expectations. --- Well done both ... an amazing performance and one you should both be proud of ... now please go and get some help !!!!!</span></span></p> <p> <p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; color: #000000; font-family: Times New Roman;">Ben Milner passed away peacefully on Aug 2, 2010 aged 8 years after a long battle with Cancer.
