The 20th London - Paris Triathlon · 17 June 2005 to 19 June 2005 ·

Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

I will be competing in a triathlon consisting of a 1km swim in the Serpentine, Hyde Park, a 10km run around the park and an 80km bike race in Paris, to raise money for the Aplastic Anaemia Trust. This will take place on June 17th and 18th.


The AAT was started in 1985, and with the Trust's help a specialist unit was founded at St. George's Hospital, London. This has become the national centre for study and treatment of bone marrow failure, with 80% of AA sufferers using St. George's.

You can visit http://www.theAAT.org.uk to see some of the fantastic things that the charity has been able to achieve with proceeds from the event. Since the triathlon started over a decade ago, the survival-rates of patients treated at St. George's Hospital has dramatically increased - but until the survival rate is 100% there is more work to do, and this needs to be funded by public support.
Aplastic Anaemia is very rare and because of this the AAT do not attract the same interest or funding as major charities. The AAT are TOTALLY DEPENDANT on funds raised by charitable efforts. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Aplastic Anaemia Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. So please sponsor me now! Many thanks for your support.
