I achieved it !! 9hr 25min in the heat of last Wednesday. Thanks to all who have donated so far......

 

Thanks for getting this far ....

At the age of 40 I decided that I wanted to set myself a challenge, 3 years later it's time to do it. 

I have always enjoyed watching the Tour de France and have hankered after trying one of the "big climbs" I had not bargained on a swim before and a run after though!

The Alpe d'Huez triathlon take place at the end of July and consists of a 2.2km open water swim, a 115km ride finishing with the climb of d'Huez (13.8km with 21 switchbacks and an average gradient of 8.1%) and then a half marathon to finish (21km).

Now May has arrived and training intensity goes up a notch. As well as doing it for myself I have also decided to raise as much money as possible for the Acorns hospice for Children.

I am very lucky to be the proud Dad of 4 healthy children, something I take for granted too often. The Acorns Children's Hospice currently cares for over 600 life limited children and their families in the region. Acorns specialist nursing and support services provide a vital lifeline for these families who would face a much tougher challenge coping alone.

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 and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. 

Thanks very much, I really appreciate it.

Steve
