My personal message:

On Dec 31st 2007, I put out my last cigarette, wished everybody Happy New Year, and began......... Not smoking, but running, cycling and swimming!

Why? To raise money for a great cause!

On August 9th, I will attempt to complete a Triathlon in London, and I want to raise as much money as I can by doing so. With training now seven months along, I'm struggling to recognise myself in the mirror after such a dramatic weight reduction (even in the shadow of giving up smoking!). On this final week before the event, I've even stopped drinking beer! Whoever heard of such a personal sacrifice!

Please dig deep and sponsor me online, and help me continue to smash my target.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: MaAfrika Tikkun UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now! Every last pound counts!

Many thanks for your support.

I DID IT! IT TOOK ME 1H 38M IN THE WIND AND RAIN, BUT WITH MASSIVE SUPPORT FROM FRIENDS THAT TRAVELLED TO CHEER ME ON, COLLEAGUES ALSO JOINING IN, AND A GUEST APPEARANCE FROM DOUGM WHO COACHED ME THROUGH TO FITNESS LEVEL TO GET THE JOB DONE! THANKS TO EVERYONE, AND NOW IT'S A CASE OF DECIDING WHETHER TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN NEXT YEAR!
