My story

 

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

I am attempting to finish the Ironman in under the 17 hours timescale allowed, you can help me to do this by donating and leaving me with a nice inspirational message.

I am competing in honour of Dee Heymerdinger who did an incredible job of rasing money for Macmillan and ironically died of cancer recently. It is my honour to be swimming, cycling and running in her name.

Please help others by making a donation. Just £19.00 will provide a qualified Macmillan professional for an hour to give emotional and practical support to cancer sufferers and their families. However any amount is very much needed, so please don't feel bad if you only have £1.00, if everyone I know donated just £1 then we would raise loads of money for this worthy cause.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Macmillan Cancer Support 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.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.

Update 6th August

The training is going well and there is just 32 days to go, please dig deep and make a donation. I know these are hard times for many but it is harder for those people and their families who have to suffer with cancer.

Just had a £1000 pledge this morning! WOW! That will make me run a bit faster.

Dont forget if you are a business or self employed you can offset any donation against tax.
