Story

Most of you are by now aware that I have decided to enter and train for the 2015 Wales Ironman. As mentioned above, this involves a 2.6 miles swim followed by 112 miles on the bike and then a marathon, one after another. 

When I signed up for this event it was actually for my own personal reasons (challenge? push myself? etc) - however - over the past few months I have learned of a very close family friends terrible news and I would like to show my support for them. SMA or Spinal Muscular Atrophy is an appalling disease and any support to help improve the lives of those affected is hugely worthy.

Training has begun, it is intense... Your words of support and your donations will be a huge contributing factor on the day. I cannot thank you enough. Cat xx
