Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I worked at Crohn's and Colitis UK throughout 2011 as a volunteer so have experienced the great work that the charity does. I volunteered at the London Triathlon 2011 and was blown away by the event. Having seen others taking part in 2011 i wanted to take on the challenge of the London triathlon in 2012 as well as raise money who had helped me gain office skills through my volunteering.

THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE I HAD WAS IN JANUARY THATI COULDN'T SWIM!!!!!

In preparation I have completed the Edinburgh Half marathon in less than 2 hours! As well as a practice triathlon.

to date I can now swim 2km front crawl I want to give lots of thanks and credit to my amazing coaches Angela Keen an Roger Taylor without their help and patients I couldn't have got this far! :)
