Story

Thanks for all your support! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

HIYA!!!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This years challenge has to be the hardest yet and is extra special as I am doing this in memory of my dad who passed away 9 weeks ago after being diagnosed with brain cancer in January. When I signed up for this last year I had expected my dad to be at the finish line. I promised him I would do this and so here I am.

The event consists of 1500m open water swim, 40k bike ride, 10k run and a large dominos texas BBQ. I am scared of open water and anything that lives in it so this really is a huge challenge for me, not to mention getting that wetsuit on, it is not easy!!

My family were lucky to have the support of Macmillan through what was a horrific experience. They were able to offer support and make things more manageable. They gave my dad the strength to deal with the situation and my family will never forget this. He called them his angels:-)  

I want to do my bit to support the amazing work they do so that other sufferers and their families can benefit as we did.

I will be proud of myself if I complete this and I hope to rope a few more people in to do it next year so let me know if you're interested!!
