The Royal Marsden is a simply fantastic organisation dedicated to world leading cancer research and care. I am particularly thankful to them for saving my mother's life and doing all they could to save the life of my friend Gemma who tragically passed away earlier this year.

To boost any donations to this very worthwhile cause, my employer (Barclays) will match all donations up to £750. Add GiftAid and a few pounds go a very long way...

... hopefully a bit like me if I actually manage to complete the 1.5km swim, 40km cycle and 10km run!

Many thanks for your support.

QUICK UPDATE - Thanks so much to everyone who donated. With employer matched funding (thanks Barclays) and gift aid the total should be GBP 1685. As for the race, I just about fell over the line in 2 hours and 57 minutes. A great day.
