Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
As many of you may or may not know throughout 2009 I set myself a huge challenge of completing 12 long distance events, which included UK HALF IRONMAN, the New York Marathon, Open Water Swims and various others.
Unfortunately I was unable to finish my challenge due to a serious ankle injury and I was devastated to miss my last 3 events, which included the New York marathon and the London Triathlon.
Although i raised money for Grief Encounter throughout the year ( I am so grateful to everybody who got the chance to sponsor me) I obviously never got to finish what I started and I was left with the feeling of unfinished business - my challenge to myself and my commitment to raise money for this very important charity.
So, after a very painful operation and rehab recovery, I have decided to put all my eggs in one basket and take on the biggest one day challenge of them all!!! IRONMAN FRANCE which takes place in Nice, June 27th. For those of you who do not know what this is, it's simple - it's a FULL TRIATHLON! A 2.5 mile sea swim, a 112 mile bike ride up the French Alps, followed by a full 26.2 mile marathon - all to be completed in under 17 hours!
I KNOW - I'M NUTS!!!
I will again be representing Grief Encounter and would be grateful to anyone who is in the position to sponsor me for this huge undertaking. I have been training for six months, have put in many hours and hundreds of miles of very painful training.
Thank you all for your continued support
