Hey all!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm competing in the Trowbridge Triathlon 2012 on August 5th, in order to raise money for Help for Heroes! The tri consists of: 400m swim, 25k cycle and 5k run. Whilst I've competed in events of a similar nature in the past (Cardiff Half Marathon 2012, Devizes-Westminster 2010), this is my first triathlon and the first time I have been raising money for H4H, and what more fun a way to fundraise than by taking on a new physical challenge! :D

I have been lucky enough never to have experienced the horrific misfortune of ever having lost a loved one in Britain's current conflicts, but I have been touched by the amazing work that H4H does for people who are currently, or have served in the armed forces. Anyone who is brave enough to serve in the armed forces knowing that they may one day risk everything fighting for something that they believe in, is a hero in my eyes.

Whilst this challenge doesn't compare to the physical and mental challenges that our soldiers go through whilst fighting for Great Britain, it DOES provide a great chance for me to get out there and fundraise for a cause that I truly believe in! :)

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thanks for visiting my page!
