Thanks for visiting the page, any pennies you can possibly spare will be very gratefully received and will go directly to funding valuable research at the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR).
You’ll all be familiar with this by now and I’ve left the nagging alone for a year to allow you to all save up for this year, I then do something stupid and beg you for cash... whether it’s paying to see me scared or in pain, happy days if it means you’ll support ICR with me. You know the way it works...
I’ve already completed the Winter Run in London and SimplyHealth 10k in Bristol... so what am I asking you to part with your hard earned cash for? Well take your pick for my 50th year you have a whole host of things to choose from...
Winter Run London 10k ✔️
Bristol 10k ✔️
Birmingham Velo 🚴♀️ ✔️
Stratford Sprint Triathlon 🏊♀️🚴♀️🏃♀️✔️
London to Brighton Cycle 52m 🚴♀️ ✔️
London Vitality 10km 🏃♀️✔️
Bala Olympic Distance Triathlon 🏊♀️🚴♀️🏃♀️ ✔️
Peak District Ultra Marathon 54km 🥾

There are more and I’ll post as I do them... everyone is self funded and not a penny of your sponsorship will go anywhere other than to ICR. Pretty much every weekend now until September is me packing my kit, getting up early and travelling to an event wondering what the hell I booked it for?! Oh yeah, to raise money for Cancer research 👍
Anyone spot the big one? The one that every time I mention it my stomach gets tied in knots and I feel sick? Anyway... they’re all a build up to that bad boy Olympic triathlon for me in July (happy birthday me) - 1.5km Swim, 40km cycle and 10km run and in London too! Terrified doesn’t even come close. I’m not a strong open water swim, I’m scared of my bike and I’m a terrible runner. Perfect huh?
If I can finish in under 4 hours I’ll be delighted but first I’ve got to crack the 10km in under and hour. Let’s get that one in first.... god help me, I’m getting too old for this!
I’ve chosen ICR for many reasons, my fundraising will go directly to support Cancer research. I’ve got too many wonderful friends who are fighting Cancer right now and friends who have beaten cancer thanks to the wonderful research these guys do. Let’s give a little back and keep on fighting for everyone. We all know someone who has been affected by Cancer, it’s a horrible disease so please dig deep if you can.
