<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>I'm doing the Shock Absorber Women's Only Triathlon on June 10th for the Arrhythmia Alliance.</p> <p>I&nbsp;was 'persuaded' (!)&nbsp;to do the Challenge distance: 800m open water swim followed by a 30km cycle and a 7.5km run.&nbsp; It's not going to be an easy day but I'm determined to do it.</p> <p>I've chosen to fundraise for the Arrhythmia Alliance (A-A)&nbsp;who are&nbsp;a coalition of charities, patient groups, patients, carers, medical groups and allied professionals working to promote timely and effective diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms).</p> <p>You are five times more likely to have a stroke throught undetected or untreated&nbsp;abnormal heart rhythms.</p> <p>Having seen the devastation that strokes cause to people and their families, I'm really passionate&nbsp;about raising the&nbsp;awareness of pulse checking so that abnormalities can be detected and strokes can be prevented.</p> <p>Visit the A-A website and have a look at the Know Your Pulse&nbsp;video campaign we developed:&nbsp; <a href="http://www.arrhythmiaalliance.org.uk">www.arrhythmiaalliance.org.uk</a>.&nbsp; It shows you step by step how to check your own pulse.&nbsp; Spread the word!!</p> <p>Now down to business :o)</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
