<p>It has now been a year since I lost my sister, and whilst in many ways this day is no different from any other day without her, I wanted to mark the moment with something more positive. I am going to be running my first sprint-Triathlon this weekend (Saturday 4 June) in the beautiful grounds of Blenheim Palace.</p> <p>Whilst I had, until now, planned to make this a very personal feat of mine, I think Danda would be kicking me for not trying to help others in the process. We had planned to do a run for <a href="http://breakthrough.org.uk/">Breakthrough Breast Cancer</a> together when she was better, so now I'd like to do this triathlon for her AND this particular charity. <br />They have, in fact just now announced a breakthrough in treatment for Triple Negative Breast Cancer (which was the kind Danda had) - another positive note (albeit bittersweet) to mark this moment. <a href="http://breakthrough.org.uk/media_centre/news_views/triple_negative_1.html">More info about that here...</a></p> <p>Should you wish to make a donation it is all very straightforward.<br />I'll be swimming 750m, cycling 20km and running 5km - nothing at all compared to the marathon Danda went through - but I will push myself hard, think of her strength and know she will be cheering me on and be behind me all the way.</p> <p>x&nbsp; Chiara</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.

Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.
