Port Macquarie Ironman · 7 May 2017

We've been running residential summer holidays for children and young adults with learning disabilities for nearly 40 years. We're run and staffed by volunteers and we rely on donations to make our holidays happen each year. For more info, please visit oundlemencap.co.uk. Thanks for your support!

Story

On May 7th 2017 I will be competing in the Port Macquarie Ironman in Australia which entails a 2.4 miles swim (~3.8km), followed by a 112 mile bike ride (~180km) followed by a marathon. It will be a monumental challenge seeing as I have never run even half a marathon, cycled 50 miles or swum close to 2.4 miles. 

Oundle School Mencap Holiday. Those of you who have experienced the holiday will no doubt understand the importance of this holiday not only to the children but also to their parents. It is a week where children with disorders ranging from learning difficulties to physical disabilities are given the opportunity to go to theme parks, go swimming and go the the beach and just have a great time! This is a charity that I have been involved in as a helper and it is amazing to see how the children express themselves be it through dancing, sailing, singing or any of the other activities thrown in for them. The looks on their faces always says it all and Mencap is the reason. 

I am supporting two charities which is why there will be two pages, the other one is a charity called Mind and I would be thrilled if you were to take a look at both of my pages

Donations no matter the size will be greatly appreciated 

Thank you very much

Jamie
