Story
In December 2002 4 year old Alessia daughter of Giuseppe Distefano the then Head of Syndicate and Credit trading at Banca IMI died after a 6 month battle with brain cancer. Gideon Gent who currently runs Debt Syndicate at Banca IMI set up Project Alessia to raise funds for Children's cancer research in the UK and Italy.
Well short of modest swimmer status 8 months ago Gent is seeking sponsorship for completion of this year's Windsor Olympic distance triathlon which takes place on June 13th; 1.5km of open water swim in the Thames followed by a 40km bike ride ending with a 10km run. This will be his first ever triathlon and first ever open water swim.

If you are a UK taxpayer your donation will be increased by almost a third at no cost to you.
Current sponsors at corporate level include Banca Profilo, Banca IMI and Snugg Wet Suits
