Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am taking part in the "Blenheim Triathlon 2012", on the weekend of Sunday 9th/10th June 2012.  The event involves my swimming 750 metres in the Blenheim Palace lake, then getting on my bike (drenched from the swim) and cycling 20 kilometres around the Palace grounds, and then, after that, it is just a simple question of running 5 kilometres!  If all goes OK - and even though I am not quite as fit as I used to be - my target is to try and complete the course in around (or hopefully just under) 1hr 30mins.  

I thought this would be an excellent opportunity to raise a little money for charity and for what is a very worthy cause:

CHAMOS is a charity registered with the Charity Commission (number 1123410).  The word CHAMOS translates from Spanish as 'kids' - and the charity CHAMOS helps to improve the lives of the most disadvantaged and poorest urban, rural, and indigenous children in (my native) Venezuela by providing financial support and/or donating medical, educational and other essential equipment to highly respectable Non-Governmental Organisations.  For more details, please visit their website ( www.chamos.org.uk ).

It would mean a lot to me - and CHAMOS - if you were at all able to sponsor me for this event.  Any amount which you could spare, even just a few pounds, would be very gratefully received by the charity.

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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now!

Thank you very much in advance if you are able to donate,

Vic :-)
