My story

 

On the 20th August 2006, I will be taking on the challenge of a lifetime  – IRONMAN UK  .  For the uninitiated this means swimming 2.4 miles in open water, followed by 112 miles on the bike (with over 7500 feet of climbing) and then a full marathon to wrap matter up!!  Am I mad?  Of course I am - no sane person would ever contemplate such a feat of endurance.  Why am I doing it?  To raise money for the Motor Neurone Disease Association.  My father John died in May 2002 after a prolonged battle with MND.

For the record, on deciding to take up this challenge my background in each of the disciplines was as follows:

SWIMMING – Would struggle to complete one length of the pool without drinking most of it!!

CYCLING – Not too bad, managed to complete the "London to Brighton" on a raleigh shopper complete with 3 gears and a basket.

 

 

RUNNING – One half marathon in 1985 and a few 6 milers.

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

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Motor Neurone Disease Association 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.

Many thanks for your support.
