Hi my name is David Mcateer and I am doing the Dublin Triathlon on behalf of Aundrea to help support #aundreasarmy, family, friends and her two priciouse boys!

Aundrea is 42 and a mother to 2 young boys. She is no ordinary woman. She is vibrant , funny , caring, the soul of any party and a good friend to all she meets, but above all Aundrea is a fighter because 8 years ago Aundrea had to fight cancer on behalf of her 2 year old son James , who was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a malignant brain tumour. As a parent her world collapsed. Within a week of being diagnosed James had his first brain operation lasting 10 gruelling hours. This was followed by a further 4 brain operations, 10 intense courses of chemotherapy and 25 blasts of radiotherapy, all within a year of diagnosis.
Her role as a mother changed to that of a nurse. She had to learn how to feed her son through the tube in his nose, clean his central line (the line which fed directly into his chest that his chemotherapy was administered though) , inject him daily in his leg , and force the countless amounts of tablets and medicine into him. Aundrea not only had to endure this, but she also had to take care of her oldest son Jack, at home.
Since James' diagnosis Aundrea has campaigned tirelessly to raise much needed funds, and awareness for the horrible disease that is Cancer. Now it's our turn to give back. As of July 2016, Aundrea herself has been diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer.
We are raising money to help support Aundrea on this horrible journey, not only to help her along the road of treatment but also to support her boys with the unknown. Thank you to everyone who supports me along my way. David 😊
