London Triathlon 2008 · 9 August 2008 ·

We are an international organisation working to build a prosperous rural Africa. We help farmers to increase their harvests, build their incomes and sustain natural resources, partnering with governments and the private sector to find effective ways to fight poverty.

Story

On 9th August I am taking part in the London Triathlon.
That's a 750 metre swim, a 20k bike ride and a 5k run.

With only a few weeks to go there's no time to procrastinate.
I've tuned up my old (but loyal) bike, dusted off my running shoes and yes, even admitted that I can no longer fit into my old wetsuit.

So why am I ending my exile from physical exertion?  Three reasons. Because it's time for a challenge, because it's time to rediscover my inner six-pack and because in doing so I hope to raise lots of money for the good folks at Farm Africa.

Donating through this page is quick, easy and secure. If you’re a UK taxpayer then 25% Gift Aid is added to your donation. (help@justgiving.org for any questions)
If everyone who reads this donates then we'll reach the target of £2k.  It'll be a challenge but I'd be pleased to help raise it for such a great cause.

Of course, I'll be keeping you up to date with my progress.  Thanks for your encouragement and support!

Best wishes
Lamin
