Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Last year I decided to take on the biggest athletic challenge I could think of - a full Ironman distance triathlon. In case you don't know, it's a race that starts with a 2.4 mile swim straight into a 112 mile bike ride and finishes with a marathon (26.2 mile) run. 

A few years ago now, on Christmas day, my Grandfather passed away after a long battle with Alzheimer's. While always fondly remembered for his charm and wit, he is still sorely missed by the family, not least his wife, my Grandmother, who survives him still, having recently celebrated her 98th birthday and who bore so much of the strain as he deteriorated.

I would like to raise as much money as possible in memory of my amazing Grandfather, in honour of his phenomenal wife and in order that the Alzheimer's Society can continue it's vital work that will, undoubtedly and very sadly affect, one way or another, every one of you reading this page. If you have someone you're close to who is suffering, please have a look at the website and see the support that the Society offers...it can make a massive difference no matter who you are.

I and the Society are truly grateful for your support.
