*Target increased* As a result of everyone's incredible generosity in their donations to Blood Cancer UK, at first I doubled my target from £400 to £800, and have now upped it to £1,000. Thank you to everyone who has donated  - you're amazing!! 

The Challenge

On 12th September I'll be doing the Blenheim Palace Sprint Triathlon (750m swim; 19.8K bike; 5.4k run) for Blood Cancer UK.

I've left fundraising a little late as I was waiting for confirmation that the event would be on - which I have now received!

I've had a slightly similar approach to training... which perhaps wasn't a sensible idea... so any donations will make the next month worth it for this very special charity! It was 4 years ago that I did my last sporting event so there's a lot of work to do!

Thanks so much for any donations xxx

Explore Registering as a Blood Stem Cell Donor

Whilst I have your attention I would like to encourage you to explore registering as a blood stem cell donor. There is a common misconception that becoming a stem cell donor involves a very invasive procedure but in 90% of cases, the donation procedure is similar to giving blood (but for a few hours). To register, you just have to do a simple mouth swab and send it off in the post. You will then only be called in to donate if a tissue match is found.
