Story

Thanks for visiting my JustGiving Page! I’m fundraising to support the amazing work that Macmillan Cancer Support do. 

So why am I doing it?


At the end of 2014 my wife was diagnosed with Salivary Gland Cancer which was a complete shock to our family, The team at Macmillan offered lots of support during surgery and Radiotherapy and now its time to support them so they can help other people.

I had an interest in triathlon so thought I would spend the next 12 months pushing myself for this great cause.

I am training with the Swindon Triathlon Club and working with Elite Triathlon Coach Blair Davies to help get me ready for the challenges I will face. Read more about my training and follow my race reports on my blog www.borntotri.co.uk.
