Our personal message:

I'm doing an ironman and would really appreciate any sponsorship to spur me on to pass the finish line!  The ironman is going to take a long time, so I need all the help I can get.  The race takes place in Zurich on 13 July and involves:

- 3.8km (2.5 miles) swimming

- 180km (112 miles) cycling

- 42km (26.2 miles) running a marathon

All one after the other, no stopping!  If I do really well, I might get round in 12 or 13 hours.

www.ironman.ch

Why am I doing this?  Just to complete the challenge, but also to raise some money for an excellent charity.  I'm also going to carry on raising money and run the London Marathon in 2009.

Diabetes is a disease that affects over 2.3 million people in the UK and there are more than half a million people with diabetes who have the condition and don’t know it.  Diabetes UK does essential work devoted to the care and treatment of people with diabetes in order to improve the quality of life for people with the condition

I would be very grateful if you would sponsor me in doing the ironman, to raise money for this excellent charity, which is close to my heart.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Diabetes UK gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
