Ironman Austria 2011 · 3 July 2011

We're dedicated to beating blood cancer. We fund research and support those affected. Since 1960, we've invested over £500 million in blood cancer research, transforming treatments and saving lives. The day we beat blood cancer is now in sight and our researchers are determined to finish the job.

Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.</p> <p>On 3rd July 2011, Matt completed Ironman Austria in a time of 10 hours, 52 minutes, 54 seconds; Amanda completed in a time of 15 hours, 55 minutes, 34 seconds.&nbsp; The event was gruelling, but was a fantastic atmosphere and great fun.</p> <p>The Ironman event is a triathlon consisting of a 2.4 mile (3.8 km) swim, followed by a 112 mile (180.2 km) cycle, followed by a 26.2 mile (42.2 km) run, which must all be completed within 17 hours.&nbsp; This will be the toughest physical event that either of us have endeavoured to complete.&nbsp; We trained hard over the past year in order to complete this challenge and would appreciate your support and donations to help make the efforts worthwhile.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails.
