My story

 

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

On the 28th June I'm going to attempt to complete Ironman France in Nice. Many of you will be aware of this madness and what it entails because of my droning on about it! For those of you who haven't been subjected to this, Ironman is a long distance triathlon. I'm going to swim 3.8km, cycle 180km and then run 42.2km (well, I say run...).

I've been training hard for 6 months, but this is my first attempt at this distance and I just hope I can finish!

I figure all my hard work is a great excuse to ask you to sponsor me by donating some money to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, who do some great work protecting elephants and other animals in Kenya.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust 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 please sponsor me now!
