2010 Triathlon

Daniel Coghill is raising money for UNICEF UK

Story

Dear wonderful people

On the 8^th of August I will be competing in the 2010 London Triathlon for UNICEF.

The money that I raise will support UNICEF's Unite for Children, Unite Against Aids campaign. The aims of the campaign are to:

- Prevent mother-to-child transmission of HIV, since currently only 1 in 3 HIV-positive pregnant women in low- and middle-income countries receive the medicine and care they need to free their babies from HIV.
- Provide treatment for children with HIV, as today there are around 2 million children with HIV.
- Prevent infection among young people with strategies which include peer education, voluntary HIV testing & life- skills education.
- Protect, care and support orphans and other children affected by HIV and AIDS.

I have entered the Olympic distance event which means swimming 1500m, cycling 40km and running 10km. It will be a challenge to say the least but all for a very worth while cause which I'm sure I'll have to remember half way through the run! I think that Unite for Children, Unite Against Aids is an amazing campaign and really want to raise as much money towards it as I can and I hugely value your support in that.

Thank you hugely for taking the time to look at this page and for any donations you feel you can give.

big love
