My story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I have decided to take part in the Westonbirt Triathlon on Sunday 27 May. Why on earth are you doing that??? I hear you cry - to raise money for the Michael Palin Centre for stammering children.
I am suffering from my second chest infection in 3 weeks and am told by the doctor that training will be very difficult for the next 4 to 6 weeks - still I'm not giving up even if my time on the day is unlikely to be what I'd hoped so give generously and encourage me to swim, cycle, run and wheeze my way through the next few weeks!!!!!
As many of you know Will developed a terrible stammer when he was just 2 and a half. It was very upsetting for him and worrying for the rest of the family. We found a fantastic speech therapist who helped Will to overcome his stammer and be the confident little speaker he is today. She was trained in the Michael Palin method and used the techniques pioneered at the Centre to teach us as a family how to help Will. There are so many other children who need help so that they can overcome or at least learn to deal with their stammering so please dig deep and donate now.

That would be a thank you to everyone who has sponsOred me!!!!!
Wow I did it. It took me 1 hour and 37 minutes. My transitions were pretty slow and so was my swim but my bike was great and my run was OK (given I was running at midday and had no energy left!). A big thank you to everyone who has sponsered me!!!!
Tell friends how your fundraising is going...In 24 hours time I will be on the bike!!! I am beginning to feel nervous and keep trying to remind myself to relax and try to enjoy the race. Thank you to everyone who has sponsored me - it will spur me on and speed me up!!!!
Well 14 days left and I am beginning to feel like the pressure is off - not much more I can do but get out there and try to enjoy it! I have a tri- suit - its like SPANX underwear but less flattering. I will post some pics when I am a "triathlete!!!"
