My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I've completed the London Mazda Triathlon - sprint distance (750m swim, 20km cycle, 5 km run). I made loads of beginner mistakes, transitions were terrible, used a hybrid bike, but still came 145 out of 656

This effort was inspired by the fact that I have undertaken research on Agency for Village Support; Village Aid's partner organisation in The Gambia. Here I saw, first hand, the valuable contribution Village Aid makes in supporting the lives of those living in the poverty stricken rural areas of The Gambia.

So PLEASE sponsor me now. If I reach the £500, I'LL DO THE OLYMPIC DISTANCE NEXT YEAR!

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