Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Once again I will be taking part in the Shock Absorber WomenOnly Triathlon at Dorney Lake, Eton.  Last year I completed the Novice challenge, very short distances I know, but I had to start somewhere as I was so fearful of the transition part!  I completed it in 35mins and came 13th in my category. This year I am upping my game and participating in the Sprint Challenge, 400m swim, 20km bike, 5k run.

I will be raising money for Breast Cancer Care and would really appreciate your donations and support.

My stepmother, Jill, was diagnosed with breast cancer 10 years ago.  After undergoing a mastectomy, she was given the all clear 5 years later.  Unfortunately, after more tests the following year she was told the cancer had spread and she would need to have a double mastectomy and her lymph nodes removed.  Jill had 10 months of chemotherapy and 2 weeks of radiotherapy and although she responded well to the treatment at the time, she has been told that with Aggressive type 3 cancer it is unlikely she will be completely clear. 

If you met Jill, you would never believe she has cancer,  She has an extremely positive attitude and a very bubbly and lively personality.  She has her low days when she's very tired and not quite herself but she tries to live every day to the full.
