Dear Friends,

Thank you so much for visiting my fundraising page for the London Duathlon event in Richmond Park on 14th September. I am trying to raise funds for my hospital to purchase a much needed CT scanner. I am also doing this in gratitude for the life saving treatment that my husband, Andrew, received last year.

The challenge was to run 5km, cycle 10km and run (crawl!) the last 5km. I've never done anything this energetic before and you have really helped motivate me to make it round. I intended to power walk my way round to save my knees, but on the day I managed a genteel trot and managed to stay on my bike (even up the hill!) It was a thoroughly elating experience! Be warned - I may have to do it again next year!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Chelsea & Westminster Health Charity 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.

Many thanks for your support.

With best wishes and thanks again,

Lorraine
