Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
The triathlon involves swimming 1.5km, cycling 40km and then running 10km.
I'm raising money for Imperial's Schistosomiasis Control Initiative (SCI). The charity treats children and at-risk adults in sub-Saharan Africa for schistosomiasis and soil transmitted helmiths (whipworm, hookworm and roundworm). Treatment helps prevent anaemia, impaired development and development of life-threatening conditions such as bladder cancer, kidney malfunction, liver and spleen damage.
SCI needs as little as 50p per person per year, to deliver treatments in Africa.

Money donated to the SCI makes a real difference, it's one of GiveWell's top charities:
