<p><em><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">UPDATE: </span></strong><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Half Ironman completed! Finished 27th in a time of 6h 19min! </span></strong></em><em><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Donations can still be made to help me reach the target. </span></strong></em><em><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">Thank you for all the donations made so far. God bless, Werner.</span></strong></em></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I will be completing the &lsquo;Woody Half Ironman&rsquo; (1900m Swim, Bike 98km, 21km Run ) to raise funds for the <strong>Martha Trust Charity</strong>. Usually Ironman courses are flat, this one is very hilly, considered one of the toughest in the UK, and in South Wales! Racing a combined distance of 121km, my aim is to raise &pound;10 for every km = &pound;1210!<br />Martha Trust cares for people with profound physical and multiple learning disabilities in three homes in South East of England. By providing a safe, stimulating, and above all, happy home environment for its residents, Martha helps them live as full a life as possible. <strong>The funds raised will contribute to the purchase of specialist physiotherapy equipment for the residents, allowing passive limb exercises to be undertaken, such as </strong><a title="http://www.medicotech.co.uk/thera-vital.html" href="http://www.medicotech.co.uk/thera-vital.html" target="_blank">http://www.medicotech.co.uk/thera-vital.html</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>More information on the charity here: <a title="http://www.marthatrust.org.uk" href="http://www.marthatrust.org.uk" target="_blank">http://www.marthatrust.org.uk</a><br /><br />More information on the Woody half Ironman here: <a title="http://www.blacksheepsportsltd.co.uk/little_woody_triathlon.html" href="http://www.blacksheepsportsltd.co.uk/little_woody_triathlon.html" target="_blank">http://www.blacksheepsportsltd.co.uk/little_woody_triathlon.html</a><br />&nbsp;<br /><strong><em>Supporting me by donating through this site is simple, totally secure and directly linked to the Martha Trust charity.
