Story

Hello and thanks for visiting our page!  We are a trio of sisters, making up the only all-female team from the Cordwainers Teams at the Blenheim Triathlon:

Tricia (750m swim): "Why does it say compulsory wet-suits?"

Jenny (19.8km cycle): "Will I need to take the basket off the front of my bike?"

Clare (5.7km run): "Is that further than from Starbucks to the station?"

This is all because in a moment of madness we said we could (probably) beat Dad (Paddy Skinner) and Clare's husband Sasha and son Jack, a rival Cordwainers team.  We've never done anything like this before, so please give generously to spur our unfit bodies into action for some much-needed training, and inspiration for the event itself, so that we don't let the side down in June!

We are raising money for two great charities: Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research, the event's main charity for the year, and LCF (London College of Fashion) 125, the Worshipful Company of Cordwainers' charity for the year.  The total raised from all the Cordwainers Teams will be split equally between the two charities upon completion of the Triathlon.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you!
