Story

Yes I have finally cracked. My so called 'Best Men' have got me doing some ridiculous event and as I am going to suffer it would be nice to do so for a good cause!!

The event is a Quadrathlon involving swimming, running, canoeing and cycling.

It isn't just an easy triathlon with a canoeing phase though - this is pretty serious. The swim is nearly a mile, followed by a 15 mile run (where we climb 2,500m), a 7 mile canoe and as if that isn't enough already, a 34 mile bike ride.

The event website is:

I'll be attempting this on Saturday after a gruelling training regime involving wakeboarding, stag weekends and airplane food. Some of the participants are trying to set new records of around 8 hours - I'll just be aiming to finish before dark!

It is all in aid of a very worth cause:

And the small print:

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

So please sponsor me now!
