Hello All,

This is your chance to see me in a figure-hugging wetsuit again - a chance not to be missed, I'm sure you'll agree.

This time I'm around I'm being stupid enought to attempt the Olympic distance which involves a 1.5km swim, 40km cycle and a 10km run. I expect I'll need more training than my near constant circuits to the fridge and back provide.

In all seriousness it is going to be a big effort to get fit enough to finish the triathlon without puking, dying or both, so any sponsorship you can send the way of Autism Speaks would be a massive help in keeping me motivated and ensuring I don't give up. Last time I had to have the race marshalls a) check I wasn't drowning and b) help me out of the water due to cramp. If it wasn't for the guilt I'd have felt at letting people down I'm not sure I'd have carried on, so please give generously for a fantastic cause.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Autism Speaks will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Please sponsor me, think of the kids!

Many thanks for your support.
