My story

 

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. As someone who experiences ongoing visual problems from an injury playing Rugby back in 2001 I know only too well how important Charities like "Fight for Sight" are. Please support me in trying to help them in continuing to improve the treatment of eye disease, injury and blindness.

My challenge is to complete 2 Duathlons in 1 month covering 24 km of running and 65 km of cycling all in under 5 hours- The two national events are the South Coast Classic Nr Brighton and The Cambridge Duathlon Nr Cambridge on the 2nd and 30th April respectively. Feel free to come and support.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: "Fight for Sight" 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 me now!

Many thanks for your support. Alex.
