Donations cannot currently be made to this page

The Mazda London Triathlon 2009 · 1 August 2009 ·

REACT is a registered charity that provides both emergency assistance and long term educational needs to refugees escaping conflict. It specifically works with young people displaced by war and conflict – offering educational tools that will allow them to re-enter their society as equals.

Story

Here I am again, swimming cap in hand. It's triathlon time. It's sponsorship time.

The charity is REACT, a small outfit dedicated to providing young displaced people in Sudan with the educational materials they need to get their lives going again. Have a look at www.reactweb.org

I'll be doing it with Jon McGuinness. I say 'with him'. i do of course mean just ahead of him. If you know him, your duty is clear - sponsor me instead. I'm taller.

It's on August 2nd. I'm on a spartan regime of broccoli, brown rice and livid blue energy drinks. I am the very spirit of middle-aged and slightly desperate-seeming athletics.

Thanks, all
