Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. Last year, many kind and generous people sponsored me to do the Blenheim Supersprint Triathlon in aid of The Brain and Spine Foundation, and that generosity helped raise over £1000.

This year, I am attempting to double the distance, which means a 750 metre swim, 20km bike ride, and 5km run to finish. I have been training since January, and whilst I still have some reservations about diving into the very cold waters of Blenheim lake again on June 6th, I know it is for a very worthwhile cause.

I have decided to raise money for Leukaemia Research this year primarily because I have for the first time come into contact with someone who is fighting leukaemia, at a very young age, and of course this heightens one`s perception of how hard it is to go through all the treatments and deal with all the side effects.

I am aware that there can be the danger of  "charity fatigue ", whereby there is an ever present demand to donate to various good causes, but I would be very grateful if you were able to make a small contribution this year towards this hugely important research, and for my part, I promise to take next year off !

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