In July 2016 I will attempt my first (and last!) Ironman at the Cotswold226 event.  This involves swimming, cycling and running a long way, and I need every possible incentive to get me through it.  I can think of no better cause than the Lullaby Trust: it carries out research into cot deaths aiming to make these tragedies a thing of the past; it educates to promote safer sleeping practices; and it supports bereaved families.  You can help them by making a donation, and you can help me by adding to the moral pressure on me to finish.

The Ironman is called "226" because in total the race covers 226km, split as follows;

Swimming 3.8km, 152 lengths of the baths in old money, then...

Cycling 180km, the distance from Bristol to London, and then...

Running 42.2km, or 26 miles aka a marathon to finish.

There's no better cause and there's no bigger challenge, so if you've read this far then please finish the job and make a donation by clicking on the "Donate" link on the top right.
