Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am competing in the Brutal Double Iron Man competition( http://www.thebrutal.co.uk/double_brutal.html ). I will be doing a 4.8 mile open water swim, cycling 224 miles(partly in the dark and including 3.5 miles of climb) and then running up and down snowden at 3am and then doing 8 lake laps to take the total run up to 52 miles. This is done continuously with no break.

The race starts at 7am on Saturday 21st September 2013 and goes through the night to finish at some point on Sunday.

I will be 50 years old when competing in this race.

30 months ago I was alot heavier than I am now and could not run 50 metres. Since then I have shed weight and worked hard to train to become an iron man. After completing my first iron man last year my daughter asked why I did not look tired. I want to find out what it takes to make me look tired.

I am driven to raise funds for a very good cause.  My local parish has been a great source of comfort and inspiration for me and my family through some difficult years and I would now like to give something back.

This is to raise funds for the Eltham Christ Church Community Hall. This is a valuable resource for the entire community - and is urgently need of repairs and enhancement, including vitally needed creation of disabled access. Once renovated the hall be a focus for the community, providing a suitable space for events, classes, parties etc. The hall is attached to the Eltham Christ Church ( http://www.christchurcheltham.org.uk/ ).
