Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

----------------------

I am a very active individual, and started competing in triathlons in 2014. In 2016 I would like to use this to inspire others into taking part, and also helping me to raise money for a great cause.

I will be racing the IRONMAN Weymouth Full Distance Triathlon on September 11th 2016.

The race will be a 2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike and 26.2 (Full marathon) mile run. I am hoping to finish the course in about 11 hours.

Anyway, enough about me and my races, let's talk about how you can help me on my way, and also help hundreds of people via the charity: The Weldmar Hospice Trust.

I am raising money for the Weldmar Hospice Trust to support the excellent care that they provide throughout Dorset to those suffering from cancer and other life-limiting illnesses.

I have lost 3 grandparents to cancer, and although they did not receive care from The Weldmar Hospice, I understand what a horrible time this can be for the patient and their family. Since moving to Dorset I have only heard great things about the Weldmar Hospice and the support that they provide. 

The Weldmar Hospice reply on donations, and provide all of their care for free. My target of £750 could help to provide care for a patient for more than 2 months. Here is an example of what your donations will help to support:

£10 - A donation of £10 provides essential clinical supplies for one patient for one day in Joseph Weld Hospice

£20 - A donation of £20 provides an aromatherapy or massage session for a patient which will help to reduce anxiety and relieve pain and sickness

£35 - A donation of £35 provides a visit by our occupational therapist to a patient in their own homes, enabling them to retain as much independence as possible through the provision of equipment and/or rehabilitation as their condition allows.

£50 - A donation of £50 provides a physiotherapy treatment for a patient in our Day Hospice or in-patient hospice or in their own home to help manage symptoms such as breathlessness or pain or to rebuild strength and mobility.

Thank you for reading my story, and thank you on behalf of the Weldmar Hospice for your donation.
