Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor us online.
We are aiming to complete an Ironman challange using the gym and swimming pool at Wye Leisure gym.
The distances in an Ironman challange are are pretty extreme so we are going to complete it in a relay system ie. Doug goes half an hour the Rich goes, then Doug again, and so on!
The distances are going to be the same as the Hawaii Ironman couse, the distances of which are as follows:
Swim - 2.4 miles (3.9km) Cycle - 112 miles (180km) Run - 26.2 miles (42km)
So each of us will be completing half of each of these distances.
If you want to know abit more about Ironman go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironman_Triathlon
In May 2006, one of our best friends tragically lost his father and brother in motorcycle accident. In January 2007, a group of friends and family (including Doug) ran the Toughguy challange in their memory, with all money they raised going to the charity BODS, a charity which was close to their hearts.
We want to continue this fundraising by doing this challange, hopefully raising a bit more money to support the great work that BODS does.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: BODS will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
So please sponsor us now!
Many thanks for your support.
