Anne's Ironman Lanzarote

Anne Greenney is raising money for CancerCare North Lancashire & South Cumbria

Ironman Lanzarote · 21 May 2022

CancerCare is a local charity dedicated to helping adults and children affected by cancer or bereavement in North Lancashire and South Cumbria. We receive no government funding, and our work is only possible thanks to grant funders and people who donate, fundraise or give a gift in their Will.

Story

On Saturday 21st May I will be competing at the 2022 Lanzarote Ironman event to raise funds for CancerCare, a local Northwest charity.

An Ironman race consists of a 2.4-mile sea swim, a 112-mile bike ride and a 26.2-mile run, all to be completed in under 17 hours.  Ironman Lanzarote is touted as one of the hardest Ironman events due to a tough hilly bike course and a fierce crosswind.

The money from this page and the Charity Auction Night (Saturday 11th June) will go to CancerCare, a local charity which offers help for  people affected by a cancer diagnosis or bereavement, support for children and young people affected by cancer, and support for family member. 

I was diagnosed with invasive breast cancer in 2019. I had a double mastectomy and still receive treatment to stop the cancer returning. Cancercare offered me and my family lots of support during a difficult time. We are so grateful for their help x
