My story

On the 5th of September this year I will be competing in a long distance triathlon encompassing the following slightly mental distances:

Swim - 1.2 miles

Bike - 56 miles

Run - 13.1 miles

More details here:

And for anyone interested in the training I am doing, they can follow my progress via the following twitter page:

Why, i hear you sane people ask? As some of you know my younger brother Jamie who was 17 in February was diagnosed with Acute Myloid Leukaemia in November of 2008. Jamie is an extremely talented footballer who has represented Australia at under 18 level and was poised to go off to the U18 world cup in December 08. He is currently undergoing chemotherapy and the good news is that he has responded tremendously to the treatment and the outlook is very positive. I remain humbled by his continuing positive outlook and wanted to put something back... to my mind if Jimmy can deal with 6 months of chemo, 4.5 to 5 hours of pain should be a doddle!!

In no small part the success of Jame's treatment is as a result of the organisations that fund the research into the disease and I hope that by selecting The Leukaemia Society I can give a little back, as well as motivating myself through the next few months. Please give generously to this very personal cause.

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
