Story

I wasn't intending to do these events for charity - I hate sticking my hand out and asking for money! But, in the last couple of weeks I've been shocked to discover several colleagues in my own department are undergoing treatment for various forms of cancer; so for them, I am happy to stick my hand out to you and ask for your help in beating this disease.

A couple of years ago, I did my first triathlon - a baby one for beginners. I got the bug, and this year entered Blenheim and London, and also got encouraged to enter (ie bullied into!) the British 10k run.

I've already struggled round the Blenheim triathlon, as that was last month; this weekend, while you're all relaxing on Sunday morning, I'll be plodding and huffing around the streets of London in a heatwave, running 10k (for the first time ever - possibly could've trained a wee bit more for this!). Then in just over 2 weeks I have the London Triathlon, along with 13,000 other people. It'll be fun. Apparently.

So please, dig deep and donate now. I know loads of people are asking, so absolutely anything you can spare will be helpful. And if you're a UK taxpayer, don't forget the gift aid button - the charity gets more money courtesy of George's coffers!

Thanks in advance!
