Story

<p class="iphone-update">Hi all, me again!</p> <p>This will be the 6th year that I've done something ridiculously sporty to raise money for cancer - my<span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">&nbsp;original plan was to walk or run the Race for Life every year to remember Clive, our best man, who died in October 2005.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">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.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">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.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="iphone-update">This is the event - being held on the 19th June:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.uktriathlon.co.uk/henley/index.htm">http://www.uktriathlon.co.uk/henley/index.htm</a>&nbsp;- 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.</p> <p class="iphone-update"><span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">In the last 5 years I've raised &pound;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.&nbsp;</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="color: #1c1c1c; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 14px;">Every tiny bit helps - thank you in advance, and wish me luck.</span></p>
