Blenheim Triathlon · 9 June 2012

We are the UK's leading charity dedicated to supporting people affected by lymphoma, the most common blood cancer in the UK. We've been providing trusted information and support since 1986, helping thousands of people affected by lymphoma. We're here for you, every step of the way.

Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>This has all come about due to the power of twitter, the power and impact of lymphatic cancer and the specific case of friend of mine on twitter and her mother who is facing this challenge as we speak/train.</p> <p>Couple that with the experience my wife Laura's had with blood cancers professionally and personally, doing the Blenheim for a reason became obvious. We sweat, we all make a life changing contribution. Easy.</p> <p>We are doing either the sprint or super sprint triathlon at Blenheim on 9th June 2012 in aid of these guys - http://www.lymphomas.org.uk/ - and intend to use twitter and every other means possible to raise as much as possible for this cause. Through all the entrants - we will spread our story far and wide and rally to break the charity record for one single donation.&nbsp;</p> <p>We thoroughly intend for this to be a TEAM effort. So everyone else who wants to take part and be in our team on the day is more than welcome.&nbsp;</p> <p>This page is updated regularly with additional participants and I've started a blog of my own to expand on the journey, charity information and useful training tips.</p> <p>timmyknostrils720.wordpress.com - this is where you can see all the regular updates on what we're doing and how we're rasing money. Not only are we smashing around the Duke of Marlborough's back garden, we're also hosting a Charity Auction on 9th March 2012 at Virgin Active at Collingtree Park in Northampton. We've raised an amazing amount already, but this is just the start - let's do this.</p> <p>The auction already has signed memorabilia from this guy http://www.craigalexander.net/aboutcrowie (3 Time World Ironman Champion), and from this girl http://www.hollieavil.com/index.html (2007 World Junior Triathlon Champion).</p> <p>And that's not all, we've got premier league football tickets, triathlon shop vouchers, fashion shop vouchers, a fourball round of golf, signed West Ham merchandise, a meal for two at the Red Lion in Kislingbury and lots more to come!!</p> <p>Get donating people, this is for a sincere and very important cause.</p> <p>Within 2 hours of setting the page up, the team extended to 5. In two months, we've got a team of 15 committed - as highlighted above.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
