Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. The Monaco Half Iron Man is a 1.9km swim, a 90km cycle ride with some intense climbs and culminating in a 21km (13.1 mile) half marathon in the midday heat of Monaco whch takes in four laps including a long climb from the marine to the famous Casino Square.
Team GBU has entered a team in the relay event. Adrian Ladbury will complete the swim, Neil Smith will complete the cycle and I have the task of bringing the team home with the half marathon. Given that we are all in our 40s, and we are all in someway linked to the global re/insurance industry and the annual reinsurance rendezvous takes place from September 6th in Monaco we are putting not only our bodies but our reputations on the line.
Why ? Because we all love a challenge, and we are also seeking to raise money for a charity which deals with what is the most common cancer in men and has touched the lives of a number of people who are dear to us down the years.
If what we are doing it also raises awareness and that prompts men to pay attention to the symptoms then all the better. This is a cancer where early identification enhances your chances of survival significantly.
Please donate what you can and we will do our best to earn your donation in sweat and blisters in Monaco on September 6th.
Thanks
Jon
