Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 2 June 2013 I will be taking on a 1.2 mile swim as part of a half iron man relay as a way to remember my best friend who tragically passed away in October.

I met Chris at Durham in 2001 and we quickly became great friends.  I count myself extremely fortunate to have had so many wonderful times with Chris.  To name a few, we had a road-trip around California, backpacked the coast-to-coast and learnt to ski.  Chris had lots of great qualities and amongst many others was intelligent, principled, personable and determined.

What I admired most about Chris was his ability to continue to push himself to complete the next physical challenge.  This culminated in him completing a full iron man shortly before he tragically died in October.

I know Chris would be proud that he has inspired so many people to push themselves.
