Welcome to my sponsorship page! Various people have convinced me to sign up for the London Triathlon next year! I'm only doing the half distance (750m swim, 20k bike ride, 5k run), but those of you who know me well know that that in itself is quite a challenge for me! I have never done anything like this before, so have no expectation around what time I'll do. For me the challenge is completing it without stopping (or walking during the run!). Project AWARE is something I've come across on my diving trips - they aim to educate divers and non-divers about species of magnificent aquatic animals which are in decline due to human activity, and petition local authorities to help prevent extinction through hunting and the other ways in which humans are harming the animals (pollution, habit destruction, environmental change, food-chain disruption). Examples of such animals which I've had the pleasure of sharing encounters with are: The West-Indian Manatee: http://gregwilliams.eu/photos/florida_2007/_MG_2292.jpg Turtles: http://gregwilliams.eu/photos/maldives_2006/_MG_1505.jpg Sharks: http://gregwilliams.eu/photos/australia_2007/_MG_6895.jpg (they are most definitely NOT all out to eat us!)
