Story

Hello all,

Myself and Ste will be competing in the Liverpool Triathlon on the 27th June 2010 the event requires us to complete a 1.5Km Swim, 40km Bike ride and a 10km run as quickly as possible around Liverpool's Dockland.

As complete novices to the sport we have spent the past few months training and preparing for the event. We have taken this on not only for the personal challenge but to also to raise awareness and money for The Brain Haemorrhage Support Group.

The Brain haemorrhage support group was set up  3 years ago by a group of people who have survived a brain haemorrhage one of the founders being Maureen Mellor (Ste's girlfriends mum) who had a haemorrhage 7 years ago this february 

The aim of the group is to provide practical and emotional support to improve the quality of like for all people affected by a brain haemorrhage.The group hold support group meetings and runs information courses for its members.They have produced information leaflets that are distrubtion around hospital and given talks to education nurses about what it was like to be a patient who has survived a life changing event in their life. They have a BUDDY scheme that provides one to one emotional to those effected by a brain haemorrhage.
only 1 in 4 people survive a haemorrhage.
For more information you can contact the group by texting  or calling on 07895243667 or their email address is bhsupport@live.co.uk


If you would be willing to sponsor us any amount you can afford it will be greatly appreciated and help to continue the amazing work carried out by the charity.
