Hi All,

This year I'm embarking on a set of new challenges, two of which I've already completed - a 10k run and reaching the summit of the highest point in North Africa, Mt Toubkal.  The biggest challenges are yet to come with the Prudential 100 mile "bike ride" on 2nd August, my first Triathlon 2 weeks later and a Duathlon in mid-September. 

I feel very lucky that I am able to do all of these things and that is why I challenge myself but I also see it as an opportunity to raise awareness and money for a great charity so all donations will be going towards The Grace Research fund, www.graceresearchfund.org. The charity raises money to fund medical research into the causes of premature births and the best forms of neonatal care. They supported a friend of mine in a very difficult time and continue to do so. I hope that you will support me in raising as much money for them as possible.

Thanks, and I'll keep you up to date with the challenges!

Helen
