Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm in training for an Iron Man - yes an Iron Man!  I'm not known to be a fit person, but I've really got to get training for this event.

It's in Switzerland next July (2010) and it consists of a 2.5 Mile swim + a 112 mile bike ride + a 26 mile run - all in one day without a break.

I'm doing it with 3 other local people that I've met and become friends with. We are keeping each other going, sharing training, training tips and lots of motivation for each other!

I'd really appreciate anything you can donate as I don't often ask for donations, but this really is a special event that I need to have a lot of motivation to complete.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

About the charity

Zoe's Place is a home from home for babies/infants who have life limiting and life threatening conditions. Zoe's Place offers palliative, specialist respite, and end of life care for infants from birth to five years old. We receive very little funding and therefore rely on donations/fundraising.
