Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I am raising money for Brake: The Road Safety Charity <a href="http://www.brake.org.uk/">http://www.brake.org.uk/</a>&nbsp;who raise money and awareness to stop death on the roads.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>In 2005 my Mom was tragically killed in a hit &amp; run&nbsp;incident in Birmingham, the person who killed her got 5 years in Jail and was out in 3. He didn't have a license as he had previously been banned from driving. As well as changing my families life by taking someone from us who meant so much, it also highlighted the fact of how much this goes on and how badly this kind of incident effects the families and friends involved. In the same month my Mom was killed a 2 year old girl was killed in Birmingham, again in a Hit and Run incident and again by a driver with no license.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I am raising money by completing a number of Triathlons, all of varying length throughout the year, so you can sponsor me whenever I have done an event. I understand that it is such a struggle nowadays with money and the recession etc but any donation would be greatly appreicated. The charity is something that is very close to my heart so I am aiming to raise as much as possible.</p> <p>Many Thanks in advance for your donations and support</p> <p>A few of the races I will be doing</p> <p>Reindeer Run 10k - 6th March<br />Wombourne Sprint Triathalon - 17th April<br />DK 10K Run - 4th May<br />Grendon Triathlon - 8th May<br />Beaver Half Ironman - 28th May<br />Full Boar Olympic Triathlon - 5th June<br />Blakedown Bolt 10k Run - 17th June<br />Top Barn Triathlon - 26th June<br />Black Country to Birmingham Half Marathon - 2nd July<br />Upton Triathlon - 9th July<br />Droitwich Triathlon - 31st July<br />Wolverhampton Half Marathon - 4th September<br />Full Boar Half Ironman - 18th September<br />Ludlow Sprint Triathlon - 25th September<br />Birmingham Half Marathon - 23rd October</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
