Story

You know the story. The fittest person you know casually asks for sponsorship because they're undertaking some super-human endeavour. Thing is, you just know they'll enjoy it.

This isn't that story.

I hate swimming. I'm positively dangerous on a bike. And I haven't run for a bus in years. Which is why I'm participating in the London Triathlon on Saturday 8th.

I'm embracing this madness because I'm raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support. When my Dad was so very ill with Multiple Myeloma, the Macmillan nurses were just magnificent - caring not just for Dad, but for mum as well. That was a long time ago, but my gratitude for the care they provided will be with me forever.

Please give generously

PS: I'm doing the 'Super Sprint'. That's a 400m swim, 10km bike ride and a 2.5km run. I'll be lucky if I survive the swim.
