My story

 

Thankyou for visiting my fundraising page : www.justgiving.com/charlietipperaugust2009

Please consider sponsoring me as I compete in 3 Ironman Distance Triathlons in 11 months to raise Funds for The ROYAL MARSDEN HOSPITAL and SCOPE in memory of NEIL BARNARD.

Terry and Brenda Barnard`s 40th Wedding Anniversary was the day I completed my 3rd ironman. This gives me even more reason to try to achieve as big a donation as we can for their son, Neil`s memorial fund which they have supported so generously since he passed away.  

The Ironman Distance Triathlon is a 2.4 Mile Swim, followed by a 112 Mile Cycle, concluding with 26.2 Mile Marathon Run. 

I have completed Ironman UK in September 2008 in 12 hours 46 minutes; Ironman Australia in April 2009 in 12 hours 15, & finally Ironman UK at the new course in Bolton, on August 2nd, 2009  in 12 hours 5 minutes.

As many of you know raising funds for The Royal Marsden Hospital is a major goal of mine.      

My Fundraising target  for 2009 is what we achieved last year £10210 (please refer to my 2008 page www.justgiving.com/charlietipper ). To secure my place at IM UK 09 I have guaranteed personally to raise a £1000 for Scope, this years registered Charity at IM.  Any sponsorship over £1000 will go direct to the Royal Marsden. So this years fundraising target would present The RMH with a much bigger cheque for 2009.  

My primary reason for competing in any of these events was to support The Neil Barnard Memorial Fund. Close family friends, Terry and Brenda Barnard, lost their son Neil to leukaemia in 1994 aged 21.  He was a great guy who fought for four years against his illness with much dignity.  Neil was treated at the Royal Marsden Hospital, the worlds’ oldest hospital, dedicated to cancer treatment, research and education. 

Terry has maintained a close tie with the hospital, creating a relationship with Amanda Heaton (the Fundraising and Community Development manager at the RMH). This has enabled the proceeds he has raised in the last 15 years through various fundraising activities to directly benefit the patients, which the NHS does not automatically supply. These Funds have provided medical provisions such as a blood cell counting machine and automatic blood pressure monitors. Also electric beds, exercise bikes, televisions and dvd players help to make the patients recovery more comfortable. 

Our sponsorship will go directly to the ward Neil was a patient on. With the help of Terry and Amanda, my sponsors will know exactly what they have helped to provide with their generosity. I receive a cheque personally from scope which I will immediately give direct to the Royal Marsden - it could not be more direct - NOT 1 PENNY WASTED.

Thankyou for reading this page and considering supporting this vital cause. I will NOT be fundraising next year.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Scope 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.

All the Very Best,

Charlie (Sponsor-Tip)
