Hi, Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
On August 2nd, I will be swimming 2.4 miles, cycling 112 miles and running 26 miles because I can't think of anything better to do with my time.
The training's going well, I have already injured one knee, the other is well on the way, my shoulder is tender, my back sore and I have blisters on top of blisters.
Still, on the plus side I get to spend the first weekend in August in Bolton.
Anyway, the Samaritans is a great charity who do excellent work helping some of the most vulnerable people in society, so please give generously.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Samaritans 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!
Cheers!
Ben
