Thank you for visiting our fundraising page.
We did it!! We have the medals to prove it.
On Saturday 7th June, we competed in the Blenheim Triathlon. A 750m swim (in a lake) followed by a 20km bike ride and a 5km run. For those of you who are less metric - 1/2 mile swim, 12 mile bike and 3 mile run.
The weather was fabulous and we had some loyal supporters to cheer us on. The swim was hard but the setting was spectacular. The bike ride was fine but extremely hilly. Ed went first and did not tell Katie how hilly it was which turned out to be a prudent move. The run was gruelling after belting along for 12 miles on a bike and the course took in lots of hills (again).
It was a huge challenge for us to get fit enough to take part in this event. We wanted to raise money for cancer research as a number of our close friends and family have suffered from cancer. By donating to Cancer Researchyou are giving the charity the means to continue research into the prevention and treatment of cancer.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Cancer Research UK 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 if you did sponsor us, thank you very much. If you have not sponsored us, please do.
Katie and Ed
