Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Back in 2012, I set off on the biggest physical challenge of my life to run the perimeter of Wales in 40 days (Dragonrun1027). My intention was to raise £20K for my local cancer centre, Velindre. I have raised almost £15,000 (including Gift Aid) and I have every intention of hitting my target.

In 2007 my mum, Anne passed away, and in 2009 after a short battle with cancer my dad, Chris joined her on her cloud. I've channelled my grief into fundraising for a centre that has supported so many that are close to me. I have seen first hand both personally and professionally the outstanding work that is carried out at Velindre, and nothing makes me prouder than to be a Velindre Fundraising Ambassador.

I'm not a natural "athlete", as anyone who went to school with me can attest, but since Dragonrun1027 I have struggled with my mind and the (relatively smaller) challenges that I have carried out since, have been sporadic and felt almost tougher than running around Wales!

I have toyed with the idea of triathlon for 9 years (thanks Timehop!), but me and road cycling are a comical combination so I have always shied away (never mind the concept of combining it with swimming and running!) The time has come though, and I am removing the stabilisers so that I can give it a shot!

This is just one of a number of challenges that I am setting myself, but it is the first where I am very much venturing into the unknown and I have no doubt I will mostly resemble a T-Rex in PE Kit.

If you can spare a couple of pounds, please help me raise squillions for this fantastic charity.

For those that have supported my fundraising efforts in the past, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you for reading,

Arry
