Story

Hi all, me again!

This will be the 6th year that I've done something ridiculously sporty to raise money for cancer - my original plan was to walk or run the Race for Life every year to remember Clive, our best man, who died in October 2005. 

Since then my lovely friend Kay has been diagnosed with and beaten breast cancer, and I am forever hearing stories about other people's loved ones who are suffering or losing their battle. Individual battles rage on, and the war is far from over. 

So far I've done the Blackheath Race for life three times, Regent's Park once, and last year I did Cassiobury Park in Watford. This year I'm getting slightly insane and doing a "fun" triathlon in Henley-On-Thames, so it's definitely time to dig deep in those pockets.

 

This is the event - being held on the 19th June: http://www.uktriathlon.co.uk/henley/index.htm - the fun version is swimming 200m, cycling 12.5k then running 2.5k, which will be pretty rough, but I'm determined to give it my best shot and finish with a smile on my face.

In the last 5 years I've raised £2,549 in donations, plus entry fees, and I'm going to keep plugging to make this as large a sum as possible, for all our futures. 

 

Every tiny bit helps - thank you in advance, and wish me luck.
