Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I can't swim very well. I have no bike. I haven't run for years, so I have made the logical decision and signed up for a triathlon. No brainer!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Bury Cancer Support Centre 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!

Training Update:

I'm still rubbish at swimming, and I haven't got my bike back on the road yet.
24th June. Swam 50 metres non-stop, but still no bike!!

11th Aug. Back from a couple of weeks off training to allow shoulder injury to heal. Can swim 100m non-stop. Not good enough!! I'd give Lance a run for his money on the bike though.

31st Aug. Managed the swim in 10:44. The first time I've managed the distance and not a bad time!!!  Maybe I'll be able to do this thing after all??

21st Sept. Completed my first ever Triathlon in a time of 1:14. My time for the swim was 9:56. I don't know where that time came from.
