Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have helped to run drinks stations, and give out medals at the Ripon Triathlon for the past few years, with the Bedale Scouts & Guides, (charity no. 503989). Ripon Triathlon is an olympic distance; 1500m swim (in the lake!), 40km bike ride, and 10km run. This year I've decided to bite the bullet  (and take part in my first triathlon) and put myself up for the challenge! My Scout group will be cheering me on, whilst they hand out drinks and point me in the right direction, and the Police treatment centre will have a promotional stand on the day.  

Some of you will know me as one of the physiotherapists at the Police Treatment Centre, where I've worked for nearly 13 years, helping serving police officers back to work via physiotherapy treatment, education and exercise plans. We are constantly reliant on donations to help fund equipment in the physiotherapy department, and replace tired or out-dated gear. 

Outside work, I also help to run the local cubs in Bedale (AKA "Bagheera"!). Our scouts and guides are a busy group who enjoy climbing, canoeing, camps, sailing, etc. and we have to fundraise to keep the HQ and equipment up-to-date. We currently need to update our climbing gear. So I've chosen to raise funds for both of the charities which take up most of my time. The funds raised will be split equally between the Police treatment centre and the Bedale Scouts and Guides.

Thank you very much for donating to these two causes close to my heart.
