Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have decided to set myself 4 challenges this year to raise money to help the Smile Train give children born with a cleft lip and palate a second chance at life. I will be starting with the Slateman triathlon in May and in July the Bolton Ironman which is a 2.4 mile swim then a 112 mile bike ride followed by a 26.4 mile run. Also I will be competing in my 4th Great North Run and finally I am hoping to ride a spin bike for 13 hours continuously.  I hope that you can give me your support by donating any amount you can afford to help this wonderful charity change the lives of children and give them a chance to live a normal life.  Can I share a few facts about the Smile Train, every 5 minutes a surgery is performed on a child fully funded by the Smile Train and since 1999 over 1 million such surgeries have been undertaken in over 85 countries. Please help me to help them help more children regain their smiles and lives. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity. You can donate by text if you would prefer by texting STES53 with your amount to 70070

Many thanks for your generosity and support and I will try to do my best to complete the challenges xx
