Fundraising for Ovacome
Story
So, I’ve signed up to The London Triathlon on
Sunday 8th August to raise money for Ovacome.
Excellent start.
BUT, I’m not sure I had fully realised how long each section of the ‘Olympic’ length triathlon was! (I really did think it would be a bit of a swim, jump on the bike, and a jog to finish! I was wrong…I should have guessed from the name ‘Olympic’!)
Step 1 - 1500m swimming (0.9miles) – or 60 lengths of a swimming pool! starting to wish i had my 100m swim badge now!!
Step 2 - 40km cycling (25 miles) – For Cheltonians, that’s 5 miles short of cycling to Swindon, or 1 mile short of a marathon!
Step 3 - 10km running (6 miles) – Under normal circumstances the thought of running 6 miles doesnt seem that bad, but have you seen Steps 1 and 2?! But the pain will be worth it, as I will be raising money (hopefully lots of it!) for Ovacome, and in order to do that I need YOUR support.
Ovacome www.ovacome.org.uk is a UK-wide network, supporting everyone affected by Ovarian Cancer.
It is a charity my family and I have been involved with since my mum’s fight with cancer. Ovacome provided us with an incredible network of information and support, helping to pull my mum through a difficult time, and for that I will always be thankful.
Ovacome helps to raise awareness of ovarian cancer, as well as providing a support network for ovarian cancer sufferers and their families. All of the money I raise will directly contribute towards running the telephone helpline, producing the factsheets and information booklets, holding annual Members Days and supporting vital medical research.
Every penny you donate will help Ovacome to support all those affected by ovarian cancer. Any amount, big or small, would be truly appreciated and will help raise the profile of Ovacome and awareness of Ovarian Cancer.
Thank you in advance (and dig deep!)
Love Nikki x

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
Please donate today!

UPDATE!!!!!....Unfortunately I start racing at 8.30 am... a little bit early to be dragging yourself out of bed on a Sunday morning!
If you have planned to travel down to watch I will hopefully be finishing before 12 and in docklands bar and grill from about 1 onwards if you fancy a drink! x
